2011-09-13 11:15:57
Ukrainian equities suffered heavy losses during the trading session on Monday. The negative dynamics observed in the European markets became a pretext of investors' concern. The Old World traders launched active sales against concerns about the growing likelihood of a default in Greece.
As reported, due to technical problems, the auction at Ukrainian Exchange opened not at 10:20 as planned, but at 14:00. During the day the UX index loss was more than 7%, but at the end of the auction market participants managed to win back a significant part of the losses.
By the closing, Ukrainian Exchange index UX stood at 1445.08 points with -4.88%. PFTS exchange index fell 4.30% to 573.33 points.
