Warsaw Market & Carbon Watch - Wednesday 31 October

Greetings from Kiev!  Here is this morning’s Ukrainian stock performance summary, from the Warsaw Stock Exchange, based on the prior trading day's closing bell.  As a whole, the Warsaw Stock Exchange closed up on the day (+0.15%), in line with the European markets (FTSE +0.95%, STOXX +1.50%, CAC +1.48%, DAX +1.13%, IBEX +1.36%) and the U.S. markets were closed for a second day due to severe weather.  Looking at Ukrainian equities in particular across the Warsaw Stock Exchange, they slightly underperformed the main Warsaw equities index, closing slightly down (-0.17%) for the day with gains in Industrial Milk Co., Sadovaya, Astarta, Ovostar and KDM Shipping not quite overcoming red and white screens across the rest of the index's weighted names.  From a market depth standpoint, the highest trading volumes occurred in Sadovaya Group (101,149 shares), Kernel (95,186 shares) and Westa International Scientific Group (46,106 shares).

Carbon Trading

ICE daily CER price saw another day of cautious gains, reaching 1.07 EURO (+5.94%).  This can be viewed as consolidation after several weeks of the market getting pummeled.  Carbon is still long and positive sentiment about a 1.2 billion EUA set aside in the EU ETS can be instantly lost as soon as one nation publicly states is won't support the motion - which must be unanimous to become binding.
