Dynamics of corporate bond indices 122.ZETBI-Corp ZETBI-Corp120.118.116.114.112.110.108.106.104.External Factors Effecting the Russian Stock Market Early in the month the situation in the global oil market depended largely upon the condition in the US oil market. Quotations remained at the previously reached levels under a considerably high volatility of trading. In the first half of the month an OPEC summit made a decision to increase, as previously expected, the quota by 500 thousand barrels daily. This, however, had no effect whatsoever on oil quotations, since the decision actually legalized the current oil production level that exceeds the official one. In fact, this meant that the cartel lost mechanisms of influence on the market situation and led to oil price growth. Oil quotations were significantly effected by an unstable situation in Nigeria, where the United States, Germany and Great Britain had to close their representatives due to a threat of terrorist acts.

At the end of the month global oil prices continued to grow and WTI quotations broke the level of $60 US dollars. The growth depended largely on the situation with oil and oil product reserves in the United States, where market speculations were based upon expectations of US oil reserve deficit. In addition, a special emphasis should be made on political factors. Radicals won the presidential elections in Iran, which is listed among the top-four oil producers in the world, which may suggest a deterioration of relations between Iran and the United States and consequently lead to reduction of Iranian oil supply to the world market. The above factors encouraged growth of oil quotations which are likely to continue growing in the future.

The situation in the global stock markets remained complex in June ( see Table 1). The basic US stock market indices declined, while the European stock market indicators and indices of developing countries showed a considerable growth.

Early in the month the US stock market indices declined at the backgrounds of oil price growth and negative economic statistics. On the one hand, industrial production growth indices were found to be lower than the expected ones. The same is true with the data on the number of unemployment insurance requests. On the other hand, consumer confidence indices and inflation figures improved. Then the US stock market entered a stage of consolidation, as there were no significant news.

At the beginning of the second half of the month, the US stock market indices recovered due to a fairly positive economic statistics. So, inflation growth rates decelerated, industrial indicators resumed their growth, the situation in the housing market and employment remained favorable. Retail prices and record deficit of current account positions remained negative factors. Continuous oil price growth 05.05.24.05.09.06.28.06.14.07.30.07.17.08.02.09.20.09.06.10.22.10.10.11.26.11.15.12.31.12.26.01.11.02.02.03.21.03.06.04.22.04.13.05.30.05.16.06.as well as insufficient but medium-negative economic statistics available at the end of the month resulted in a downward trend in US shares quotations.

At the beginning of the month, market quotations relied upon high oil prices and relatively favorable conditions in the markets of developed and developing countries in absence of significant domestic news. At the same time, the quotations ceased to respond to external news, which served as an additional supportive factor at most, with an advent of significant corporate news.

Foreign Exchange Market A marked and sustained strengthening of the USD against the RUR was noted in the domestic foreign exchange market in June. At the beginning of the month, a sharp weakening of the RUR reflected the global foreign exchange marketТs ( FOREX ) response to the rejection of a single EU Constitution at the relevant referendums held in France and Netherlands, which was followed by publication of a negative economic statistics on European countries. These factors forced down the Euro exchange rate against the USD to the nine-month lows, which approached $1.2 US dollars per Euro. The RUR exchange rate also demonstrated a decline under the circumstances. Then, the USD exchange rate slightly decelerated as a result of the effect of alternate factors. Further growth of the exchange rate was facilitated by expectations of an interest rate increase in the United States, while this was restricted by negative expectations prior to publication of the data on the US trade balance, and substantial oil price growth.

During the second half of the month, rates of currencies depended largely on global trends. In particular, the USD/Euro exchange rate declined due to a series of factors. First, net purchases of US securities by non-residents in April were found to be below the expected figures. Second, current account positions deficit remains record high. Third, the situation in Nigeria gave rise to a risk of terrorist acts against Americans. Finally, technical over-purchase of the American currency was the last relevant factor.

Among the domestic factors that had an effect on the RUR were high oil prices and traditionally less demand for foreign currency due to tax payments at the end of the month. However, the USD resumed its growth against the Euro at the end of the month upon correction of the former, which was also caused by the fact that leaders of France and Great Britain had reached no agreement on a sevenyear budget of the European Union. The RUR demonstrated the same movement in relation to the USD.

In the period between June 1 and 29, the USD exchange rate grew by 0.39 rubles ( 1.38% ) and was 28.58 rubles per US dollar. Total volume of trading on USD in the SELT electronic trading system was nearly $26.44 ml US dollars with an average weighted turnover being $1.56 ml US dollars ( nearly $21.6 bln US dollars with an average weighted turnover being $1.27 bln US dollars in May ) in the period between June 1 and 24 June. Maximum volume of trading on USD over the foregoing period was recorded on June 22, which was nearly $2.45 bln US dollars, while the minimum trading volume was $861.9 ml US dollars on June 10.

RUR liquidity in the Russian banking sector remained unchanged in June 2005 as compared to May 2005: balances on corresponding accounts of credit organizations with the Bank of Russia averaged nearly 248.9 bln rubles in June against 248.4 bln rubles in May.

In the period between June 1 and 28, the Euro exchange rate dropped by $0.014 (Ц1.18% ) down to 1.2163 US dollars per Euro in the world market. There was a marked weakening of the Euro against the RUR at these backgrounds. In the period between June 1 and 29, the Euro exchange rate declined against the RUR by 0.22 rubles, ( Ц0.62% ) from 34.91 to 34.69 rubles per Euro. Total volume of trading on the Euro in the SELT electronic trading system was nearly 151.78 ml Euro with an average weighted turnover being 8.93 ml Euro ( nearly 136.36 ml Euro with a daily average being 8.02 ml Euro in May ) in the period between June 1 and 24. In June these figures are slightly above the similar parameter in May. Maximum volume of trading on the Euro over the same period was recorded at 13.39 ml Euro on June 22, while the minimum trading volume was 5.87 ml Euro on June 6.
