This is the inaugural issue of TMT Quarterly. This new publication is mainly aimed at updating the investment community on our sector views and sharing our most and least preferred stocks for the coming quarter. Since our stock preferences in this report are for a shorter horizon than our typical 12-month recommendations, there may be some deviation. Our preference for the next three months is internet stocks. Both Yandex (48% upside to our target price) and Mail.ru Group (67% upside) continue t...
The focus of the sixth edition of Wire Tap is the e-sports market, where Mail.ru Group and MTS recently gained exposure, although their entry costs differ substantially. We also touch on Mail.ru Group's development in the ad and gaming markets, VK's functionality, Yandex's effort to integrate Alisa into its navigation app, the new Digital Development Ministry and Rostelecom's support from state contracts.
Trump’s Iran gambit ... double edged sword Ahead: Can’t ignore c$78/bbl. Heading back from Victory Day, the session for locals will be one of catch up – namely, tracking higher on the back of Brent. The latter has jumped to c$78/bbl on supply disruption from Venezuela but, more so, from Iran – the US withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and levied new sanctions on OPEC’s third-largest producer. The prospect of higher Brent bodes quite well for the Russia-risk trade, but the sanction al...
Putin’s list / decree, Brent wobble Ahead: Victory Day mode. Expect markets to retreat heading into Victory Day (9 May) and as it digests President Putin’s proposed Cabinet list and ‘National Goals’ decree. Most notably, markets may price in some disappointment that market liberal Alexei Kudrin was not tapped for Deputy PM, which casts doubt on the pace and degree of vital economic reforms. Dmitry Medvedev was again offered up as PM, which suggested status quo rather than reform. Putinâ...

We also touch on fresh internet usage data from Mediascope, the Federal Telecommunications Inspection Service's blocking a number of Google's IP addresses, OK's user growth, the penetration of Yandex.News, details on the Yarovaya law, Russia's 5G auctions, telecom churn, MVNOs and the penetration of carriers' mobile video and music services in their subscriber bases.
MARKET COMMENT - MARKETS LOOK UNENTHUSIASTIC, WHILE OPEC+, IMF AND WB MEETThe RTS's recent recovery took a pause with a 0.1% slip to 1,154 yesterday. Markets look a bit soft globally this morning after a weak US session, though catalysts are few and far between. The OPEC+ monitoring committee meeting, continuing IMF and World Bank meetings in DC, and a number of scheduled Russian corporate events are on today's agenda.STORIES> Government finalizes Yarovaya law data storage requirements> Kcell Bo...

3-hike Fed, steady global growth, oil rebalancing Ahead: Sweet spot … save for trade war angst. Were it not for trade war posturing by the US and China that is threatening to escalate, markets would enjoy a sweet spot. US data points largely missed (factory orders, services PMI) to suggest a 3-, not a 4-rate hike play by the Fed this year, which supports the risk trade and oil. The US numbers also remained relatively solid, implying steady economic growth and, hence, no slippage in demand f...
MARKET COMMENT - RISK ASSETS IN DEMAND WHILE INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL BACKDROP UNSTEADY Russia performed better than peers yesterday, the RTS up 0.3% versus a 1.2% drop for the MSCI EM. A positive shift in global sentiment after the US open provided support. Meanwhile, international political developments continue to drive mostly negative attention; for instance, news reports out of the US last night indicate that new sanctions could come as soon as today.

Trade tension eases, Brent rises v Spygate expulsions Ahead: Upside bias. Global bourses have rebounded on easing trade fears – save for the ‘spygate’ affair, Russia markets should follow suit. Brent is trading above $70/bbl, driven by speculation that behind the scenes US-China talks will prevent a trade war, OPEC+ members Saudi Arabia and Russia reiteration of their commitment to extend the rebalancing deal into 2019, and Middle East tension may lead to supply disruption. The fly in th...
MARKET COMMENT - FED, THE DIGITAL ECONOMY AND OIL IN FOCUS TODAY Russia outperformed peers yesterday on a day of decently positive global risk sentiment and a surge in oil prices.

MARKET COMMENT - RUSSIA, OTHER EMS MUDDLING THROUGH DESPITE POLITICAL EVENTS Russia was in the middle of the pack yesterday, the RTS drifting 0.3% lower versus a 0.2% drop on the MSCI EM. The latest political developments had only a muted effect on Russian stocks, while US political events have unsteadied stocks in the US and globally. We are expecting a small drop at this morning’s open in response to a downbeat global trend. STORIES > More rhetoric in Skripal case; new, unrelated OFAC sanct...
