External factors behind Russian stock market dynamics In November the Russian financial market dynamics, as a month earlier, was dependant on the situation in the world financial markets, characterized by periods of sharp decline due to the negative news, replaced once in a while by more optimistic investorsТ behavior, urged by measures, taken by governments of a number of countries to support their financial systems. Among the adverse global market conditions, affecting the Russian market, one should mention:

Х a sharp decline in the U.S., European and Asian stock markets, provoked by the US Ministry of Finance rejection to purchase non-liquid mortgage assets of the banks.

Х increased global liquidity crisis Х Information on significant reduction in the financial performance of the U.S. automobile manufacturers (General Motors, Ford Motor) and the largest U.S. banks Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Х deferral of hearings of the draft law for the support of the US automotive industry to the beginning of December, Х Information, published in mid-November on the negative macroeconomic statistics in the U.S., in particular the growing unemployment and reduced sales in primary and secondary US housing market, Х declining oil prices (in the second half of the month oil price has fallen down below 50 dollars per barrel) reflected USD strengthening against Euro in the world currency market.

However, on the other hand, the decision of the US Ministry of Finance to provide financial assistance in the amount of USD 20 billion to Citigroup bank, reduction of refinancing rate by the US FRS to 1 per cent per annum in late October, by European Central bank to 3.25 per cent in early November, by the Bank of England to 3 per cent (by 1,5 per cent) and by the Central Bank of Switzerland to 2 per cent contributed to the growth of global financial markets. Development of a new package of additional measures to support the US economy and the presentation of the stabilization plan for national economy by Italian Government also supported the global stock market.

All those factors urged volatility in the major stock market indices. Thus, in November (as a month earlier), a significant downfall was noted in global indices, as compared with the indicators of the beginning of 2008 (by 20-60 per cent on average). An adverse trend was observed at the end of October 2008.
