This week TATNS experienced an enormous drop of 8.53%. It was caused by the situation in

Libya. All oil companies which had connection to Libya had problems and losses this week, but

Tatneft had even bigger problems. TATNS assesses its losses of investment in Libya around 70

million EUR, thus, affecting the prices of shares dramatically. Current situation in the oil market of

Russia affect the whole situation of RTSI, as oil and gas industry is the largest in Russia it has a

great impact, thus, resulting in overall share price decrease. If such situation in oil and gas industry

will remain the same, many companies, not only oil companies, will still experience losses in their

share prices.

Last week’s Friday concluded in a negative dynamics that was caused by external factors. In

particular, investors in Europe are uncertain about the debt problems in Spain, Portugal, Greece and

Ireland. For the last, the international rating agency Moody’s decreased the crediting rating that also

put some pressure. At the same time, the high oil prices also did not support the Russian oil

companies. The Russian stock markets will closely monitor the situation on international platforms,

and the correction is most likely to continue. The ambiguity of external factors like profits of U.S.

companies, ongoing disasters in Japan, inflation problems in China has forced investors to change

their attitude to risk, therefore, coupled with the background of negative news, „bearish” sentiment

is now determining the movements of Russian market. So next week the correction will continue

and the Russian stocks will decrease their value.
