At the beginning of the second part of the month the market situation was noticeably aggravated mainly due to an explicit downgrading of Уblack goldФ prices in the world markets. As a result, the preferred securities of the power-generating sector have demonstrated a decrease as of results of the third week of the month. As opposed to them, the securities of non-mineral resources sectors were still in demand on the part of investors. Therefore, the Russian securities in general were in rather high demand and there were chances for their prompt compensation and further growth.

Corporate bond market In general corporate and municipal debt market in November was moderately negative. At the beginning of the month the growth was restrained by the state of the external debt market, while the USD rate stabilization and some enhancement of monetary liquidity in the bank sector were protecting the quotations from further downfall.

Further on the quotations continued to get down under the impact of lowering liquidity in the bank sector. Somewhat stronger USD position against RUR was the only factor that supported corporate and municipal bond market. Negative tendencies were getting stronger since the second part of October. A downgrading of the Russian Eurobond added to the sustainable yield growth factors of the first part of November (namely, problems with liquidity, high level of primary offers).

As a result, the price index of corporate bonds traded on MICEX9 fell by 0.23 points (0.2 per cent), while the index of the ten most liquid corporate bonds dropped by 0.27 points (0.23 per cent). In the period of November 1-24 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 1.15 bln of an average daily turnover in October). Therefore, the average daily turnover in Russian companies' corporate bonds in November was taking place in the background of somewhat higher activity of the investors.

Such sustainable growth at the end of the month was replaced with a diversified dynamics, provoked on the one hand, by technical factors and investorsТ expectations of the new USA statistical data disclosure on the other hand.
