Ukrainian Stocks End Mixed
Ukrainian equities listed on foreign exchanges showed mixed performance over the week. Ferrexpo (FXPO) shares slumped 5.4% to GBp 56.2 after surging 20% the previous week.
Astarta (AST) gained 5.5% and IMC (IMC) rose 4.3%, supported by the broader positive momentum across global equity markets.
U.S. stocks continued to climb, with major indexes hitting fresh records on strong corporate earnings and growing expectations for rate cuts.
Key drivers:
- U.S. inflation came in below expectations, reinforcing investor confidence that the Federal Reserve may soon ease monetary policy.
- Financial stocks remained under pressure amid concerns about the quality of loan portfolios at regional banks.
- Optimism in the technology sector once again set the tone across equity markets.
This week, investor attention will turn to the upcoming meeting between U.S. and Chinese leaders. Both sides have reportedly reached a preliminary framework covering several key issues, including trade relations and disputes over rare earth materials.
The corporate earnings calendar will be the busiest of this earnings season, with Big Tech leaders Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOG), and Meta (META) all set to report quarterly results. Investors will be watching to see whether Big Tech has managed to keep delivering on the lofty expectations that have accompanied the AI boom.
