OREANDA-NEWS. April 23, 2010. UFC Capital released daily market view:

Equity market. On Thursday, bearish sentiment prevailed on both Europe’s largest stock exchanges and the RTS SE. After the trading session opened, stock indices remained predominantly in the red zone. Off the open, the Dow Jones index also reflected US investors’ pessimistic mood, which may have been influenced by the worsening of the situation in the US labor market.

The negative external background was most likely the reason for the UX index’s 1.48% decline on April 22. 3,412 deals were transacted for a total of 91.3 mln hryvnia. On the order-driven market, the leaders in terms of losses were Dakor (DAKOR) and Dnipropetrovsk Dzerzhinskiy Iron and Steel (DMKD; SELL), which lost 5.7% and 5.5% respectively. At the same time, Alchevsk Coke (ALKZ; BUY) was the growth leader, surging 12.9%.

On the last day of the trading week, the most important statistics, which could bear an influence on investor sentiment, include the expected publication of the data on the UK GDP in 1Q2010. The impact of this indicator, as well as the US market’s trading results from April 22, will largely be seen during the trading session on April 23.
