The real market trend will only be seen next week, according to Kateryna Lepenicheva, an analyst with the asset management company PIO GLOBAL Ukraine.

According to the expert, this week’s trends do not represent the situation on the stock market, because most issuers did not take part in the trading.  The very small trading volumes, which average under $5 million ad day, prove the point.

Lepenicheva said, “large acquisitions should not be expected any time soon, as some people believe that the economic fall is not over yet, nor should large sales be expected. Positive financial and production results of Ukrainian enterprises have made their stocks very attractive, especially taking into account today’s low prices.”

This week, quotations have jumped as companies like Motor Sich, Stakhanov Railcar Building Plant, Avdeyevka Coke and Chemicals Plant, Yenakiyevo Iron and Steel have published their results of the past quarter or even four months.
