MICEX (Moscow)
Year: 2008, Week: 46
Russian Stock Market overview
 
This week MICEX had an unconceivable fall in index by 23.5% with a closing value of 592.07. On Wednesday the trades were cancelled, because the index value plummeted on Tuesday by entire 15%. Although at the very beginning of trades on Friday the MICEX index increased almost by 10%, holding out hopes of shutting down in positive value, in the short run the index continued to decline. One of the reasons, which has influenced this enormous fall, was the announcement of negative statistics of the USA retail sales, which decreased by 2.8% in comparison with the previous month. In fact, this has been the record fall since 1992. All in all, the markets continue to face their “hard times”, and Russian market is not an exception. This week showed that crisis is still going on, and most probably present economic conditions are going to be even worse. The impact on MICEX index was made also by the oil price decrease, which accordingly to specialists’ predictions won’t stop till it reaches septennial trend line of 45$ per barrel. Top losers of the week were Uralkalij (URKA) with a dramatic share price fall of 59% and Norilskiy Nikel GMK OAO (GMKN) with the loss in the price of 27%. Altogether, relatively many companies had a considerable decrease in share prices.

HEX (Helsinki)
Year: 2008, Week: 46
Finnish Stock Market overview
 
The OMX Helsinki 25 Index (OMXH25) experienced a steady decline during the trading week ending November 14, and on Friday the markets closed with a 6.37 per cent weekly loss. The index remained above 1800 points for most of Monday, after which it started a plunge towards. This came as more and more companies announced layoffs and as two of Finland’s biggest banks---Nordea and Sampo—cut the growth forecasts for the Finnish economy. The fall continued until Thursday, when a brief recovery followed the news that the Finnish GDP had risen by 2.2 per cent. It was, however, short lived, and the index turned downwards again after hitting a peak on Friday morning. News from abroad were also grim, with the Eurozone slumping into recession and consumer confidence shrinking world-wide, but Helsinki still underperformed most major world indices by 2-6 per cent for the second part of the week.

RSE (Riga)
Year: 2008, Week: 46
Latvian Stock Market overview
 
Week 46 is over, and it wasn’t the brightest one for Riga Stock Exchange participants. The OMX Baltic Benchmark GI (OMXBBGI) index experienced a 7.70% decline. Meanwhile, the OMX Riga (OMXR) index dropped by 43.76, or 11.26%. It was the biggest decrease comparing to the other Baltic countries’ stock markets. The total turnover of the main list amounted to 540,476.58 EUR. Although this is almost three times less as the week before, when some significant deals involving Latvijas Kuģniecība (LSC1R) were made, it is still a quite high number, for example, comparing to October. 348 deals took place, which is an increase of 16% comparing to the previous week. There were no companies on the main list, which ended the week with a smile on their face, because all of them - Olainfarm (OLF1R), Latvijas Kuģniecība (LSC1R), SAF Tehnika (SAF1R), Ventspils Nafta (VNF1R) and Grindeks (GRD1R) - experienced a decrease in stock value. In fact, some of the decreases were quite amazing.

VSE (Vilnius)
Year: 2008, Week: 46
Lithuanian Stock Market Overview
Isaac Newtonian should be happy about the Vilnius Stock Market, which clearly represents the theory of gravitation. This week was not an exception with a creepy decrease of 10.39 percent to 201.33 points. On Friday the European economist officially announced that the Euro zone has slipped into recession. The fears of it nearly have come true in the “European Tigers” as well. The stock market is the first to be hit, because it clearly illustrates the future expectations. This week was the catastrophe for the financial sector. Ūkio bankas (UKB1L), Bankas Snoras (SRS1L) and DnB NORD Bankas (NDL1L) plummeted drastically by 39.45, 38.46 and 28.93 percent respectively. Although nowadays the 0 percent change could be regarded as a huge achievement, the most “greeny” company was Klaipėdos jūrų krovinių kompanija (KJK1L) with admirable increase of 6.17 percents to 3.39 EUR followed by Lietuvos energija (LEN1L) (showing a gain of 3.7 percent to 0.81 EUR). The total weekly turnover was 16,247,258.22 EUR.
