At the same time, the second week of October has demonstrated a steady growth in the Russian stock market, urged by favorable situation in the world stock markets, as well as by stabilized oil prices. At the beginning of the second part of the month the growth was replaced with technical compensation, caused by an official OPEC declaration to reduce the supplies of oil to the world market. As a result, the growth of oil prices has been frozen, which have reduced the trend to further growth of the Russian stock market. In the environment of stabilized oil prices, proceeds of the oil companies might be getting lowered due to inflation of investments, especially upstream expenses, as well as RUR strengthening. Taking into consideration the important role of oil companies in the Russian stock market, oil prices stabilization made for the stabilization of the market on the whole. Moreover, some corporate news of negative character have also provided a negative impact and provoked the price drop.

Futures and options market In October the investorsТ activity on the RTS futures and options market (FORTS) slightly went up as compared with the preceding month. Thus, from October 1 trough 27 the total turnover on the RTS futures and options market amounted to approximately RUR 244.83 bln (493.4 thou. of transactions;

695 mln of contracts) against RUR 218.7 bln (408.2 thou of transactions; 7.3 mln of contracts) in September.

The greatest demand, as before, was for futures: the volume of trading in futures in the period under review was RUR 212.62 bln (479.4 thou. of transactions, 6.12 mln of contracts). Options enjoyed a far lower demand, with the volume of trading at about RUR 32.21 bln (14.01 thou. of transactions and 831.75 0f contracts). The highest amount of trading in the futures market was RUR 18.47 bln (as of October 4), the lowest was RUR 8.92 bln (as of October 23).

Corporate bond market The corporate and municipal debt market in October has slightly lowered at the background of the market low trading activities, what can be explained by a stronger USD position against RUR, publication of USA positive macroeconomic statistical data, as well as the growth of the US bonds yield, traditionally effecting the dynamics of the Russian RUR bonds. However, a certain role in the secondary market stagnation had a relatively high volume of primary issue, which nevertheless has provided no negative effect on the investorsТ demand. The above factors were even stronger in the second week of October. Thus, the lowered opportunity of dropping of the base interest rates in USA made not only direct impact over the Russian corporate bonds (through the yield growth of the USA government bonds), but also through the continuously decreasing USD against RUR.

At the same time, the growth was hindered by tax liabilities, reducing the level of bank liquidity and an increased offer in the primary market.

From October 1 to 27, the price index of corporate bonds traded on MICEXTF FPT fell by 0.08 points P (0.07 per cent), while the index of the ten most liquid corporate bonds dropped by 0.16 points (0.per cent). In the period of October 2-20 the total turnover on the MICEX corporate bond section amounted to RUR 17.32 bln, with an average daily turnover of RUR 1.15 bln (about RUR 1.5 bln of an average daily turnover in September). Thus, the average daily turnover in Russian companies' corporate bonds in October went considerably down against the September indicators.

Uncertain forecasts of their dynamics, as well as somewhat inconsistent policy of OPEC countries have made a negative impact. As a result, in October the prices either were getting lower, or varied in the range of USD 59-60 per barrel (with temporary upward tendencies). In such situation, one could not expect a rise in the Russian market.

The situation of the world stock markets in October remained quite stable (see Table 1). All basic stock indicators of highly developed and developing countries were characterized by continued growth. Those factors have provided some support to the Russian market, which becomes rather sensitive to the market situation in the absence of significant changes in domestic market.
