FIG. Dynamics of corporate bond indices 122.ZETBI-Corp ZETBI-Corp120.118.116.114.112.110.108.106.104.External factors influencing the behavior of the Russian stock market During the greater part of the month, oil prices were going down on the international market. The fall in prices was caused by a substantial growth of oil reserves in the USA, as well as by the lowered rates of the global demand for oil forecasted by the International Energy Agency. The prices were to a certain degree influenced by the OPECТs position: in face of the lowering prices being witnessed, it did nor plan to adjust the quota, which promoted the growth of oil reserves in developed countries, as well as further decline in prices.

The situation on the international stock markets was markedly improved in May (see Table 1). Most of countriesТ stock indices in May were displaying positive growth rates.

As the month began, a growth in quotations was registered at the US share market. At the same time, any substantial growth in quotations was impeded by the high, though declining, oil prices, by raised interest rates and by slowing-down rates of economic growth. The Open Market Committee of the USA Federal Reserve System once more raised the interest rate by 0.25% - to 3% per annum. This news had no significant impact on the market, because this event has already been reflected by the prices, while investors are more interested in the standpoints of the monetary authorities as to any further rise in the interest rates. The economic statistical data were controversial. Thus, despite the continuing decline in activity indices in industry and the services sector, the indices of productivity, construction costs and employment turned out to be much better than had been expected in the economy.

Toward mid-May, the indicesТ dynamics was rather multidirectional. Liquidity problems being experienced by some hedge funds and accelerating inflation rate became negative factors that were increasing the probability of a more aggressive policy of raising interest rates in future. The quotations were positively influenced by the dramatic fall in the international oil prices, as well as by the still low yields on government bonds. Later on, market growth continued due to a favorable combination of several factors - the oil quotations were still going down, while the released economic statistics decreased the probability of any future accelerated increase in the interest rates.

In particular, the fall in the international oil prices, in absence of any external news, contributed to the downward trend on the Russian market. At the same time, the favorable situation on the international capital markets, as well as the reestablishment of the previous level of oil quotations in late May, were serving as factors supporting the domestic share market.

D. Polevoi The Impact of New Primary Listing Requirements Issued by the Russian Federal Financial Market Service for Securities Intended for Pension Accruals Investment Since 1 July 2005, the Russian Federal Financial Market Service ( RFFMS ) made amendments to the stock exchange listing requirements for securities12, whereby a series of important quantitative parameters were revised upwards. These changes have a direct impact on pension accruals investment, since the applicable rules and regulations specify that pension accruals only can be invested in securities included into the primary listings (А1 ). Below presented is an explicit examination of the amendments to the requirements for issuers and securities which are intended to be included into such listings ( see Table 1).
