OREANDA-NEWS. On 11 August 2009 UFC Capital released daily market expectations:

European and US markets closed in “green area” August 7, the European and US markets mirrored the investors’ optimism. The Europeans were not confused even by the fact that the German industrial output dynamics had deteriorated (-0.1% in July vs. 3.7% this May). Meanwhile, the positive mood of the US citizens is explained by good statistics on unemployment this July – 9.4% (they expected – 9.6%, while this June demonstrated 9.5%). The Monday trades started from positive statistics on industrial output in France, which demonstrated increase by 0.3% (vs. expected 0.2%). That day no other statistical data were expected able to affect the sentiments of investors.

Ukrainian stock exchanges are demonstrating a slight correction. August 7, on PFTS SE 85 deals were made with the shares issued by Ukrainian companies for the total of UAH 7.4 mn. The biggest number of deals – 17 – were sealed with the shares of Ukrnafta (UNAF). The same day, 513 deals were made on Ukrainska SE for the total of UAH 18.7 mn. Ukrnafta was the leader of trades that day – 144 deals. We must say that the source in the government said there is an agreement between the shareholders of Ukrnafta as to the payout of dividends for 2007-2008. This matter shall be considered at its general meeting scheduled for August 14. We assume that till that date a number of active speculative deals may be made with shares of this company.
