Обзоры рынка 18.10.2012 The Ukrainian Exchange ended Wednesday in the red, despite growth in most global markets following more optimism on China's economy. The UX fell 0.2%, with six of the 10 local blue chips losing ground. The session`s worst performers were Ukrsotsbank (USCB UK) and Avdiivka Coke (AVDK UK), both off 1.5%. Warsaw`s WIG-Ukraine index also lost 0.2%. Six of the stocks in that index were down as well, led by Sadovaya Group (SGR PW) -4.3% and Agroton (AGT PW) -3.6%. After the gains overnight in the USA and Asia, we expect Ukrainian equities to also move up this morning.
