russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure have brought more blackouts and water shortages. Almost a third of Ukraine’s power stations and other energy-generating facilities have reportedly been destroyed in a wave of air strikes over the last two weeks. Eight months into the war, moscow finds itself on its back foot, struggling to hold onto territory in its ground war and turning to missile strikes to bring the war to areas beyond the front line.
Ukrainian locally-listed stocks were mixed last week. CentrEnergo (CEEN) surprisingly gained by 16% to close at UAH 5.10 per share. UkrNafta (UNAF) edged up by 1% to UAH 200 while the second-tier Krukiv Wagon (KVBZ) plunged by 20% to UAH 11.30.
Agro names remained under pressure due to reports that russia is deliberately blocking the full implementation of the Grain Deal. As a result, Ukrainian ports have been operating only at 25-30% of their capacity since mid-October. Warsaw-listed Kernel (KER) fell by 11% last week to PLN 16.80. Astarta (AST) and Agroton (AGT) dropped by 14% and 10% respectively.
In London trading, Ferrexpo (FXPO) climbed by 3.7% to GBp 118 while MHP (MHPC) decreased by 8.4% to USD 3.40.
The hryvnia appreciated by 0.7% against the dollar to trade at 40.50 UAH/USD on the OTC cash market.
