strong decline, we may now never see

On Friday, U.S. stock indexes finished the day lower, amounting to about 1%. Investors did not like the financial statements of the bank JPMorgan Chase, which recorded significant increase in losses on mortgage and commercial loans. Plus the market"s forecasts fell short and the data on an index of consumer confidence (72.8 § 74.0 against forecasts etc).

Temperature drop in stock markets led to the strengthening of the dollar (EUR /USD 1,4380), which has a negative impact on commodity contracts quotes. Additional pressure on the euro continues to have a split in the ruling coalition in Germany. Energy prices are now under pressure of two factors: reduction of cold weather in many U.S. states, as well as a significant increase in fuel supplies in the United States in the previous two weeks. Prices for Brent oil traded this morning near the mark of $ 76.8 per barrel. That almost $ 6 less than in the previous Monday. Today"s trading on Asian exchanges are not uniform in the dynamics of movements of indices: Nikkei -1,15%; BSE Sensex 0,85%.

opening of trading on Russia"s stock market on Monday we will see in the negative zone. Lower oil prices, falling U.S. stock indices, put pressure on the quotation. However, the growing futures for U.S. indices (SP 0,17%) and the reluctance of Asian stock exchanges to go significantly below current levels given the chance that the day we still see buying, not selling. In this regard, we bet on securities of MMC Norilsk Nickel against the backdrop of rising prices for industrial metals today in Asia and the shares of Polyus Gold, as a protective asset in the background of stable prices for the yellow metal ($ 1135/unts). MICEX this afternoon, probably will be traded in a weakly negative zone near the mark of 1,445 points.
