MMGZp, ATFBp8 and KKGBp having replaced GB_ENRC (7th position in
May), GB_KZMS (8th position) and HSBKp1 (10th position) correspondently
have become the newcomers of the "liquid ten".
Reanimation of preferred shares of ATF Bank JSC (ATFBp8) in rating was
furnished by the series of "internal" deals, made on June 19 and 23.
Trade activity on common shares of EURASIAN NATURAL RESOURSES
CORPORATION PLC (GB_ENRC) in June sharply fell on ferrochrome world
market situation. During the whole month decreasing of demand on raw
(ferrochrome) on the side of producers of stainless steel, who also reduced
their output, was observed. In this segment of the market there is surplus of
supply, when ferrochrome consumers shift to their reserves. Due to the fact
that 2/3 of ENRC income is brought by ferrochrome sales, decrease of
attractiveness of the segment of the market certainly influenced the rate of
investment interest to securities of this issuer.
Decreasing of KAZAKHMYS PLC (GB_KZMS) common shares in rating
correlated with share securities situation of the issuer on London Stock
Exchange (fall by 5.8 %). Volume of trades in these securities on KASE
decreased by 6 times compared to May, 2008, trade activity was supported
by one contractor. At that, during analyzed period there was no sharp
decreasing of prices on copper on world commodity markets. One of the
reasons is increasing of KAZAKHMYS PLC stake in ENRC from 14.59 % to
22.24 % as a result of change with Government of Kazakhstan republic.
The table below contains the first 10 positions of the rating, made by the
results of shares trades on KASE for the first six months of 2008. Stake of
these "ten" in total turnover of shares market of KASE made 56.9 %. During
this period shares of 67 instrument names were involved in deals of KASE
open secondary market.
