KASE shares market insignificant turnover growth in March was due to some
factors. On the one hand, 61.7% of market turnover fall to STF RFCA trades.
However, increasing influence of March trades on STF RFCA doesn't afford
to determine the features of market attraction growth of this sector. Let us
remind that the main volume of trades on STF RFCA was made March 21,
by the results of special trades with 570,845 common shares
KZ1C34560017 of Khabar Agency JSC for the total amount of $100.3 m.
Besides, on March 31, 250.000 common shares KZ1C45320013 of
Kazakhstan Mortgage Company JSC were offered on STF RFCA.
On the other hand, the peak of activity on STF RFCA was evened out by the
decreasing turnover in the segment of secondary market of KASE to 32.3%
(from the total volume of trades) from 94.3% in February. In the mentioned
tendency, decreasing in prices of Kazakhstan banks played it's role (see
Results of trades in shares on KASE on March 2008), also listed on LSE. By
the results of trades on LSE, GDR prices of common shares of Halyk
Savings Bank of Kazakhstan JSC fell by 9.6% (+4.4% in February),
Kazkommertsbank JSC - by 8.4% (+17.5%), Alliance Bank JSC - by 18.5%
(+22.7%).
In this situation the high level of correlation of KASE share market with
position on external markets was demonstrated by KASE index (see the
Main indicators of exchange market of purchase and sales of shares in
March 2008)
Beginning the second week of March, 2008 international trade floors were in
fear of recession in USA and worsening of situation on the world exchange
markets. Federal Reserve System repeated rate decrease, admitting
bankruptcy of one of the hugest investment banks of USA Bear Stearns,
worsening of statistical results of month and permanent US dollar decreasing
made investors to act more careful while manipulating on the exchange
market, which caused new flow-out of assets.
Company-representatives shares of rough sector of Kazakhstan economic
increased in March both on KASE and on LSE: GDR prices of common
shares of Exploration Production KazMunayGas JSC increased by 3.9% (-
8.5% in February), KAZAKHMYS PLС - by 3.3% (+27.2% in February). It
was supported by rise in price of main rough products that caused worsening
of the situation on exchange market. However the rise in price on Exploration
Production KazMunayGas JSC and KAZAKHMYS PLС shares was not so
significant. Quotations were influenced by the events that happened to the
mentioned companies. In March KAZAKHMYS PLС equity quotations
dynamics was influenced by the messages on financial results of the
company for 2007, and the statements of Eurasian Natural Resources
Corporation and Kazakhstan Government (detailed information see
ANALYSIS: Liquidity rating of KASE listing shares on secondary market on
March and 1Q of 2008). Insignificant growth in shares of Exploration
Production KazMunaiGas JSC, notwithstanding the rise in price on oil on
world market, was based on continuing anxiety of market for introducing tax
on oil export by Kazakhstan Government and their replication on company's
yields. On April 8, 2008 this very question was decided at the Government
meeting - the rate of custom tax relative to crude oil makes $109.91 per ton,
at the same time the sum of tax will be corrected due to the world oil prices.
KazMunaiGas JSC is also included in the list of companies, which are under
the tax. Exploration Production KazMunaiGas JSC made an announcement
about reviewing of its investment program. Thus, share quotation of the
company is likely to fall (on foreign and home market) in short term prospect
- at least, before the company will announce the data forecast for extraction,
export of oil and investment policy with taking this tax increasing into
account.
On the whole, by results of March, average weighted day prices increased
shares denomination - 39%, decreased 50% of denominations, unchanged
- 6%, there was nothing to compare with the prices of 6% of the shares.
Maximum trends by the results of month showed: UTMKp shares increased
by 204.6% and DNBN shares decreased by 13.9%.
Below are the tables, characterizing the shares market of KASE in the
analyzed month in details.
