Wednesday, September 30, 2009 19:10

Russia stock market ends the day confident in the background of a serious decline in the fall of the U.S. indices and lower oil prices. America has played on the side of the bears. The Chicago index of business activity in September fell from 50 to 46.1 points, is expected to increase to 52 points. Perhaps the completion of today's trading will affect the data on oil reserves, if the numbers will affect the dynamics of oil prices. Russia mixed background. Reporting Polymetal for the first half of US GAAP standards was worse than expected. However pleased macroeconomics, inflation in September was zero. Devaluation fears were not realized, and now you can delete the paper Surgut to its currency Potbelly of the favorites. Remaining Gazprom, Lukoil, Rosneft. Because no oil - MTS. Other papers are not so interesting, the company badly battered Russia's crisis, and, possibly, some embellished statements. Of course, to predict short-term dynamics of the market is difficult, because is subject to random factors. The situation, however, in our view, remains generally in favor of bulls and the potential market of nearly bounced back to the end, he is 10-20%, primarily due to higher oil dubbed chips and Gazprom. log in and see the material;; 8; users rated material on 4,5.

Euro graduated correction

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 18:16

Thus, reducing the euro ended yesterday at around 1.4525. The Dow Jones closed down fall of 0.48%. But at night the euro began to grow, while Asian markets closed in plus. Now futures on the Dow shows a growth of 0.41%. Prices for WTI crude oil has risen to 67.93 dollars per barrel. Euro also struck up a top-down channel, and showed a maximum at around 1.4673. As we thought worked double divergence of the MACD. We believe that yesterday's decline correction finalized and the euro will soon update the highs, and continue to rise unabated. It seems that the past correction is comparable to that observed at the euro-dollar at the beginning of October 2007. Then the euro after the correction was still about the same as done previously. We now expect the euro to a mark of 1.53 in the next month. Perhaps the growth efforts today after the publication of data on employment in the United States from ADP. In general comment on the local market situation in relation to some emerging news in the current situation, it seems pointless, just as in fact there were any unnecessary comments in 2007 from August to November, except for a finding of an uptrend. We continue to believe that the devaluation of the dollar to the U.S. economy to support the industry. If the Bank of England Mervyn King has openly stated that Britain is advantageous weak pound for rebalancing the economy, given the extreme similarity of the problems with budget deficits and trade balances in the U.S. and the UK, it is easy to conclude that the weak dollar is advantageous for the U.S. economy. This determines the trajectory of the euro-dollar in recent months, just as the need for economy in the U.S.

Shares peak soared more than 10% after reports that an agreement on restructuring its loan portfolio from the Sberbank

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 16:13

Oil regrowth, but Russia's stock market in no hurry to follow. Growth is very selective market slowly creeping upward. Oil today demonstrates a steady rise, as observed during yesterday's trading. To date, quotes Brent rose by 1.5%, which supports our optimism regarding Russia's market, especially oil chips. Last month, quarter and fiscal year in the United States speak a kind of additional factor pushing up share prices - controlling interest in a high overestimation of their portfolios at the balance sheet date, which can lead artificially high prices, especially in low liquidity securities. Despite the positive trend in prices in the oil market, shares of oil and gas companies can never return to the task of Russia's economy in the interest of investors. Market participants continue to win back the most interesting idea in our market - the transition of network companies on RAB and the probability of transition to a single share. And this morning, the demand for paper MRSC was just great. Take off in the first minutes of trading quoted at 15-30% at very high volume of trading was very unexpected. We have repeatedly pointed to the undervalued companies sector, but to explain the present as such a huge surge of interest in them can not. In the first hour of trading volumes on these previously illiquid securities exceeds the corresponding figure for such chips, as Chairman of Audit Committee or Uralsvyazinform. However, after a sharp rise at the opening, the potential for further growth of capitalization of many IDCs significantly decreased, respectively, the players lean on short-term speculation, it makes sense to fix the current profit. For more conservative as investors pay attention to shares of the largest distribution company - Grid (6%), which, although it does not have in its name the letters IDC, however, belongs to the same group, and have at least impressive growth potential. From the blue chips is once again allocated shares metallurgists - Severstal (3.4%) and MMC Nornickel (2.5%). The growth of the oil market today weakly expressed. Gazprom (-0.7%) all traded with a decrease in quotations. In the second tier securities in addition to IDC, the growth rate are allocated shares of PIK Group, soaring more than 10% after reports the company has reached an agreement to restructure its loan portfolio with Sberbank. Thus, the risk of bankruptcy is passed, the worst is over, and investors may have to re-evaluate the prospects of the company, based on its cash flows and prospects, not to play guessing about the viability of the company in a money hungry. This evening we are waiting out the important statistics. At 16.15 Moscow time, will be published data on the number of jobs created in the private sector from ADP (forecast -200 thousand), and at 17.45 Moscow time - Chicago PMI (forecast 52 points). The main course, are the data on the labor market, which are the harbingers of Friday payrolls. After today announced a reduction in September, unemployment in Germany (from 8.3% it dropped to 8.2%, while the absolute reduction in the number of unemployed observed for the third month in a row), similar positive information to investors wanted to hear, and the United States. But, apparently, this is not the short term. log in and see the material;; 1; user rated material 5. Analyst Ratings

Finam raised the assessment of VTB

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 14:12

Finam increased its 12-month target price of ordinary shares VTB 14% - to $ 0.00175 per share, or $ 3.5 per GDR. Recommendation on them is reduced from hold to sell in connection with the growth of quotations. Analysts of investment company believes that the current estimate VTB does not meet the fundamental characteristics of the bank with a complex situation with overdue debt and low profitability. In recent months, the banking sector dominated by positive trends. Significantly improve the availability of funding. Along with the resumption of a steady flow of deposits, rates on the market MBC steadily declining. Capital adequacy sector over the last year has increased from 14,5% to 18,8% and is currently almost twice the norm of the Central Bank. We also expect a steady inflow of deposits into the banking system of Russia would lead to further normalize the structure of funding, - noted in the study of Finam . However, the risks of Russia's banks can not be considered exhausted. Despite an increasingly distinct positive signals, indicating the gradual normalization of conditions of the banking sector, we caution investors from reckless optimism. After a slowdown in May-June growth rate of arrears in July and August increased to a sufficiently high level - 10% monthly. Also We expect to increase pressure on interest margins of banks in the coming months on rising bad debts and narrowing of credit spreads - the analyst expects the investment company Finam Konstantin Romanov. VTB for a long time will feel the impact of negative factors. Due to the aggressive credit expansion in 2007-2008 Bank was among the most affected by the crisis. The consequences (expensive liabilities and relatively low quality of loan portfolio) would have a sharply negative effect on the activity of VTB, at least in 2009-2010.

Customers bankrupt insurers have to change the UK and re-buy policies …

Wednesday, September 30, 2009 11:14

migration of customers between insurance companies is becoming a mass phenomenon. In September, the UK became more active still lose policyholders: they often leave even the customers veteran, served in them for many years. Previously, such a repartition of the market was preceded by tariff wars and open dumping of the most aggressive insurers, now the prices for policies sycamores. Transitions clients come mostly for two reasons: because of nonpayment of the UK and forced banks for insurance of mortgages. Confusion and vacillation Most infidelity insurers - the fault of the companies. Reduced quality of services, delays and denials in payments, as well as the applicable regulator sanctions (suspension and revocation of licenses) forced customers to look at other insurers. Customers of companies that have lost their reputation for stability and are in a precarious financial position, now transformed into a more stable and well-known UK who continue to fulfill the obligations, - said DC Chairman of the Board of JSC Insurance Company Ukrainian Insurance Group Paul forbidden. According to experts, the ranks of refugees in September, increasingly supplemented by legal persons. Companies are trying to optimize their costs and obtain more reliable insurance protection, - said DC Chairman of the Board of JSC Insurance Group TAS Dmitry Gritsuta. Fortunately, to find a new insurer today is simple - the struggle between the companies for corporate clients turns serious. Privates same citizens to change the UK are usually pushing extreme circumstances. For example, the suspension or revocation of a license of the former insurer. In this case, the termination of the contract - the best alternative. Companies that stops the license, is unlikely to be responsible for liabilities. A UK customer can feel more or less secure if it has been a member of the Motor Bureau. But in this case, it guaranteed reimbursement only on avtograzhdanke. The remaining species are likely to policyholders not wait payments. the chances of a recapitalization or refinancing of troubled insurers at the expense of shareholders, new investors or the state is negligible , - believes Mr. Gritsuta. If the company is simply delaying payments sins, clients prefer not to prematurely terminate contracts, because such an initiative is fraught with serious penalties. Typically, they return only a portion of the payment for the period remaining before the expiration of the policy. Also under the terms of the contract, insurers reserve the right to retain from 20 to 40% premium as the cost of doing business. Thus, if the policy were more than six months, the UK can return to the Insured general penny. Insurance dictatorship second reason is the rapid migration of customers from the beginning of autumn - that pressure banks, which do not cease to put ultimatums borrowers. Since the beginning of the crisis financiers tripled nicety in accreditation SC, badly cutting the list of partners: the borrower has no choice, and upon the expiration of the policy he is obliged to change the company. Insurers complain that bankers are disproportionately inflated the minimum amount of deposits that must be placed to obtain accreditation. In some cases, when it comes to large financial institution network, the size of the required contributions reach 5-15 million UAH. and more. Many banks also insist on a quarterly replenishment deposits, opening of current accounts, implementation of salary projects, etc. course, no one spoke openly of imposing specific services the UK, and the financiers are trying to justify its selective reduction of their payment discipline. Against the backdrop of deteriorating economic situation, many companies delay the payment of compensation. The average time delay is 1,5-2 months, - noted the director of department of retail management Erste Bank Vitaly Pozniak. As a result, the list of insurance partners, many financiers reduced to three or five, or even a single IC, which has the exclusive right to insurance of mortgages.
