Equity Market Stock market situation The situation in the world financial and commodity markets, based on the negative external background due to the sharp downfall of the U.S. mortgage agencies quotations, write-off of new financial losses of the largest financial companies, significant decline in oil prices has provided a significantly negative effect over the Russian stock market. The downgrading in Russian stock market was also provoked by domestic news - the tense geopolitical situation due to the Russian-Georgian conflict (aggravated by negative international reaction to the RF actions), investorsТ wait-and-see position in expectation of resolving the situation with "Mechel" company, as well as the trend to decline of the ruble rate against the US dollar. Upgrading of the Russian banking system rating by Standard & Poor's agency from Group 8 to a more "credible" group 7 did not provide a significant effect on the market.

Among the negative global economic factors, affecting the Russian market, it is worth noting the downfall of the stock market, including the information on the new losses of the two leading U.S. mortgage agencies Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae and possible nationalization thereof, the search for investors in the largest investment bank Lehman Brothers for the purchase of the investment business, as well as bankruptcy of three more American banks in August (First Priority Bank, Columbian Bank and Integrity Bank). The negative macroeconomic statistics from the US has deteriorated the situation and urged a significant decline in oil prices, the weakening of the ruble against the U.S. dollar, the negative forecasts for emerging markets and the downfall of commodity prices, as well as the tense geopolitical situation due to the Russian-Georgian conflict and concerns about possible economic sanctions against Russia on the part of the West.

All those factors resulted in volatile dynamics of the world's major stock indices. Thus, in August the downfall of the majority of the global indices was noted as compared with the indicators of early 2008. Thus, the markets of developing countries were characterized by a decline in the major indices by 1-7 per cent, while the downward trend was clearly observed in the background of a significant reduction in the main Russian stock index, which has declined by 9-15 per cent within August. Herewith, the U.S. and European markets in August have grown by 1-5 per cent (against the indicators of the end of July) (see Table 1 and Fig.6).
