CIS Market Daily - March 21, 2019

MARKET COMMENT - FED RELEASES COTE OF DOVES, MARKETS APPLAUDAlthough a majority of EMs ended in slightly positive territory (country median +0.2%), the MSCI EM index fell 0.2% on the back of declines in certain heavyweights like China (-0.5%). Russia's 0.7% gain in MSCI terms placed it above most peers. The day's main news was the Fed decision, where the US regulator made a dovish turn to guidance for no further rate hikes in 2019. While longer-term implications of the decision (and its cause) are mixed, in the short term the event has spurred a rally in risk assets, including overnight quotes in the ruble.STORIES> Russian CPI inflation stable at 0.1% last week> Russian economic releases indicate improvement in February> Bank of St Petersburg 4Q18 results: Strong final quarter> X5 4Q18 results: EBITDA margin as expected, NI 21% below consensus> MHP 4Q18 IFRS review: Flat cash EBITDA, EBITDA per kg to be flat at $0.5> New proposal could shake up non-tender modernization projects> PhosAgro 4Q review: Missed consensus on EBITDA, good dividend
