OREANDA-NEWS. March 11, 2011. Concorde Capital released daily Ukrainian market view:

The UX dropped another 2.27% yesterday to close at 2,733.83. Market activity remained low, with equity turnover at UAH 144.0 mln. The top dog by volume was again Motor Sich (MSICH UK), down 3.37% on UAH 32.4 mln. All stocks in the UX index basket finished lower on the day. The worst performers were steelmakers Alchevsk Iron & Steel (ALMK UK), down 4.56%; and Yenakiieve Steel (ENMZ UK), down 3.68%. Following news of violence in Saudi Arabia ahead of the planned “Day of Rage” protest today and an earthquake hitting Japan, Asian markets are shaken this morning (Nikkei -1.72%; Hang Seng -1.55%) and European futures are in the red, pointing to another difficult day for Ukrainian equities. Note that both major local exchanges, the UX and PFTS, will be open for a full trading day tomorrow after taking last Monday and Tuesday off for holidays.
