Further decline of oil prices down to the level of USD 50 per barrel has provoked a decrease of the Russian bonds quotations, first of all - in the oil sector. Another negative factor was the downgrading of the US securities. However, at the beginning of the third week of the month significant changes took place in price formation. Thus, oil prices have been stabilized and then started to grow, which provided an immediate effect over the quotations of the oil companies. Moreover, a number of positive corporate news of RAO UES of Russia, Severstal, Rosneft have supported those companies security rating and the market in general.

In general, within the period of December 29, 2006 - January 26, 2007 RTS index has declined by 3.per cent and reached 1863.28 points, which makes about 58.64 points in absolute terms. At the same period the turnover of sales on shares, included in the RTS index, made about USD 779.9 mln at the average daily turnover at the level of USD 55.7 mln (as compared with about USD 917.6 mln at the average daily turnover at the level of USD 57 mln). Therefore, the investorsТ activity in the stock market in January was practically the same as in preceding month. The indicators of maximum and minimum turnover in the market trades in January made USD 81.1 mln (as of January 25) and USD 26.5 mln (January 26), accordingly.

Futures and options market In January the investorsТ activity on the RTS futures and options market (FORTS) has practically unchanged as compared with the preceding month.

The highest level of trading in the futures market was RUR 19.77 bln (as of January 23), the lowest was RUR 10.4 bln (as of January 26).

Corporate bond market After the long New Year holidays there were little changes in the quotations of bonds, traded in the corporate debt market. Favorable situation in the bank sector liquidity, as well as the absence of large placements served as supporting factor to the market. At the same time, rather low activity of investors and an aggravated situation in the external market due to downgraded oil prices and stock market decline did not contribute to the market growth. Despite the lively activities within the second and third weeks of the month, there were no explicit changes in the market situation. The dynamical indicators were the same; the majority of investors were selling the issues with long-term maturity and invested the assets in shorter-term securities.

The greatest decline was observed in regard to the market leaders, whereas changes in the quotations of less reliable companies were not so expressed or even stabilized. Some impact over the corporate bond market was provided by primary placements in the segment of government securities.

External factors behind Russian stock market dynamics At the beginning of the new year oil quotations were declining. By the end of 2006 the oil price exceeded USD 60 per barrel, whereas in the first days of the current year it has dropped to nearly USD 55 per barrel.

Up to the second half of the month the oil prices have declined to the level of about USD 50 per barrel, but then a positive trend to growth has started. The basic grounds for reduction was an abnormally warm weather in USA, the world leader among oil consumers. Besides, OPEC is intended to cut down official supplies only from February 1. However, its members express now different opinions as to further actions, and the reduced supplies can only formally set up the current level of oil extraction volume and its supply to the world market.

The situation in the world stock markets in January remained quite favorable (see Table 1). The majority of the stock indicators of both, industrialized and developing countries within the month have grown, excluding the Brazilian Bovespa index, which has demonstrated a decline (- 0.14 per cent) and South Korea Seoul Composite (-4,4 per cent).
