28.10.2008 Help from abroad World Markets
The beginning of the week that passed was suspiciously quiet as nothing extraordinary had happened at the weekend, for the first time of late. However, it became clear very soon that problems of the financial system are still far from being solved and the global financial crisis keeps trundling down the beaten track, increasing its pace significantly. Judging by last week results, stock indexes suffered an across-the-board decline. Thus, American Dow Jones 65 Composite, Nasdaq and SnP 500 lost 4.8%, 9.3% and 6.8% respectively. In Europe the situation was even worse – Germany’s DAX 30 plunged 14.9%, Austria’s ATX PRIME fell by 13.2%, Finland’s HEX GENERAL shed 9.5% and the UK’s FTSE-100 was down 4.4%. The Tokyo Stock Exchange's Nikkei 225 index of leading shares almost hit its global lows it had reached at the end of the twentieth century, having posted a week-over-week reduction by as much as 12.0%.
Ukrainian Market
From Monday through Tuesday, the Ukrainian stock market felt more or less confident, but the external and internal pressure which had strengthened by the middle of the week did not give it even the slightest chance of growing.
