All
10 Ukrainian Exchange blue chip stocks ended lower on Tuesday (Dec 10) in line
with losses in main European indices, as Kyiv’s political standoff continued,
with little common ground to be seen between opposition protesters and President
Yanukovych. The UX index slipped 0.8% to close at 885 points. Leading the
decline was Avdyivka Coke, which fell 1.5% to UAH 3.05; Motor Sich, CentrEnergo,
and DonbasEnergo were each down 1.3%. UkrNafta and Azovstal saw more marginal
drops of less than half a percent each and UkrSotsBank ended unchanged near 17
kopecks. Outside the UX basket, ZhytomirOblEnergo lost 7.1%, while heavy truck
producer AvtoKraz gained 3.3% to 3.80 kopecks.
