In the short term, Russia”s market looks promising, the indices in the near future may well go to new highs

By admin | Published: March 19, 2010

Today, against the background of positive U.S. and European market dynamics we are growing up in all the papers. Finally there was a correction in oil prices upwards, which gave cause for optimism to market participants. It was evident that this growth expected to last 2-3 players of the day: sales were not very aggressive, the players were hoping that the market will provide an opportunity to go higher.

In the short term, our market looks very encouraging. There are still all over the world there are many cheap financial resources, oil price fears do not cause, so that the domestic indices in the near future may well go to a new horse.

From the main negative factors remains weak demand for resources around the world, except China, which makes the already cheap Russia”s stock overvalued.
Corrective downward movement more real early in the second quarter than it is. China has begun taking steps to reduce the expansion in the domestic market, building excess capacity. Thus, in March, when will decrease in the activity of Chinese producers and consumers, it will affect all the markets (the market of resources, market, related to the transport of metals, etc.). While the worldwide reign optimism, as is evident from published yesterday, the industrial index. Against this backdrop, many funds are recorded. All this points to the fact that we come to the local maximum in terms of the productive sector. At the beginning of the second quarter we may see a downward move, the company will be careful to give predictions. During this period there is a danger the oil passage 200-day moving average, which recently has been far from current prices. In our market it can be perceived as a signal to commit, including those from major market participants.
