CIS Market Daily - October 30, 2018

MARKET COMMENT - RUSSIA AND EUROPE OUTPERFORM AMID TOPSY-TURVY CHINA HEADLINESRussia (RTS +1.3% to 1,113) and European markets (MSCI Europe +0.9%) saw a strong day yesterday, while EMs were in negative territory, the MSCI benchmark slipping 0.5%. News flow around the China/US trade spat shifted more than once over the course of the day, in part explaining the weakness in the two countries' stock markets (MSCI China -1.7%, S&P 500 -0.7%), but APAC markets are mostly up today, possibly on a stray remark from the US president about a "great" trade deal to come. Italy's planned bond sale, a UN meeting on Ukraine and more are in today's top-down headlines.STORIES> Polymetal: Kyzyl exceeding expectations; stock fairly priced > Yandex: Taxi drives 3Q18 results> Detsky Mir reports 18% adjusted EBITDA growth in 3Q18> Lenta: Weaker top-line growth, fewer openings guided, buyback starts> Aeroflot CEO reveals headline numbers from updated strategy> Tariffs for empty runs to be raised; impact on Globaltrans minimal
