Yukos shares rose a half times

Yukos shares sharply rose during the exchange trading on Thursday. At MICEX, they increased by 46.059% compared to the closure of the previous day to 24.83 rubles per share. In the RTS, the company's shares went up by 76.72% - to $ 1 per share.

According to the head of the trading department of the investment company "Prospekt" Anton Kashtanov, the growth of Yukos shares is speculative.

Active growth continues throughout the spectrum of papers, and against such a positive background, investors decided that they had previously resold Yukos, making his shares excessively cheap. “Many people just scratch their hands to buy them,” Kashtanov said.

Ratmir Kopytin from the metropoline investment also notes that the cheaper shares of Yukos are very attractive for exchange speculators.

"Yukos fell strongly to the minimum values, and the players are given the opportunity to make good money in a fairly short time," Kopytin said.

At the same time, some analysts believe that the growth of Yukos may be caused by the hope that he will be able to maintain the remaining assets. “There are rumors that the company's management somehow agreed with the state that the state would not put up the rest of the yukos assets for sale, and Yukos would not pursue Rosneft, who bought Baikalfinance Group,” said Aleksey Kormshchikov analyst at Interfax.

On Wednesday, Yukos sent a letter to the Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov about the alternative possibilities of resolving tax claims, and this may give rise to additional rumors. At the same time, the analyst doubts that these rumors have grounds. “It seems unlikely to me that the state will change its positions. These rumors are not confirmed by anything, and this is a purely speculative movement,” said the feeders.

Analyst Brunswick UBS Andrei Machanskis claims that stocks are growing against the backdrop of purchases of brokers from London, but whose interests they represent is incomprehensible.

Councils of RAO UES grew by 3.5%, Lukoil - 3%, Sibneft - 3.2%, Rostelecom - 3.9%, Finmarket reports.

The height signals prevail over the entire spectrum of papers, the internal news background has gained more optimistic shades, the outer background remains moderately favorable, experts say. The traditional New Year’s rally in the stock market has a chance to take place.

Among the shares of small companies, the papers of Rosneft's subsidiaries are most actively valued after the information that the maternal company became the new owner of Yuganxneftegaz. 100% of Rosneft shares belong to the state.
