The first day of spring provided trades activation with remaining climbing trend. The main reason of growth was the favorable foreign background. So, the exchange markets of the Eurozone were supported by the stats on unemployment, which turned out to be better than expected and caused confident growth of the European grounds. Besides, significant support came from the commodity market – oil prices grew due to expectations of U.S. economy recovery and Asian markets and growth of demand for fuel related to that. Exchange grounds of the U.S. have also upped with growth against the background of the stats on expenses of the citizens, and also all-time high upping of GDP of Canada. By the end of the trading session the mood of the participants was slightly worsened by the drop of ISM Manufacturing index more than expected. However the correction from the daytime maximums turned out to be insignificant. The shares of oil-and-gas sector (mainly Gazprom and LUKOIL, and Rosneft to a less decree), and also banks (mainly Sberbank, less – VTB) were most popular.
