Yesterday, for the first time since the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions by the West, it became obvious that these very sanctions could have a very tangible effect. The entry into the US Ministry of Finance's sanction list of April 6, aluminum and other assets of Oleg Deripaska caused a real collapse in the Russian financial market. Monday began with the fall of quotations of its companies UC Rusal and En + Group. The cost of securities of Rusal and En + Group decreased by almost a quarter, or by $ 1.3 billion. According to various estimates, on April 9, the state of Deripaska fell to $ 4 billion, while still recently in the Forbes billionaires rating of 2018. it was estimated at $ 6.7 billion. Following the close of trading on the stock market, the Moscow Stock Exchange index fell 8.34%, the RTS index - 11.44%. In total, for the day the capitalization of the Russian stock market fell by 820 billion rubles. - from 9.835 trillion to 9.015 trillion rubles. Leader of the fall were shares of Sberbank, sagging in the moment of falling by 20%. The shares of Gazprom fell by 6.3%, Rosneft by 6.2%, VTB by 8.24%, Mechel by 15.7%, RusHydro by 14.77%, and MMC Norilsk Nickel - by 17.6%. Thus, Vladimir Potanin, the main owner of Norilsk Nickel, suffered for the company with Deripaska,. Unlike his less fortunate "colleague," he did not get on the US lists, which, incidentally, did not save him from losing about $ 1.3 billion. In total, the state of the 50 richest people in Russia fell by $ 11.7 billion for one Monday alone. Together with the shares on Monday, flying down "with a whistle" and the value of the Russian ruble. The euro rate on the Moscow-based interbank exchange for the first time since August 3, 2016. rose above 75 rubles. - to a level of 75.35 rubles. , having jumped by 5.56%. By 17:58 Moscow time to the close of trading, the euro was adjusted to a level of 74.23 rubles. As a result, the overall growth in relation to the close of Friday, April 6, was 3.74%. The dollar, as expected, overcame the mark of 60 rubles. even earlier, as of 18:00 Moscow time on the Moscow Stock Exchange, the currency was trading at 60.29 rubles. During the day, the dollar rose to 60.56 rubles. Survived by the market collapse experts explain the statement of UC Rusal on the inability to service their dollar obligations. This caused a real panic and a massive dumping of "aluminum" securities on all trading floors of the world, where they are represented. The main question related to all the latest developments on the market is whether it is worth waiting for the continuation of the collapse and to what levels the value of Deripaska's assets will fall, as well as the Russian ruble. Experts are still cautious with the answers. "We'll see," said Dmitry Golubovsky, an analyst at FC Kalita-Finance.. - It is important, as today the bids will open. If you feel any support from the state, there will be money from Asia, and there will be buyers ready to buy Russian assets, first of all - OFZ, then it will mean that the panic has subsided. The fundamental factors will come into force, for example, high oil, the ruble and the market can play a part of the losses ". However, according to the expert, long-term prospects are in any case bad. And not so much in connection with sanctions, but in connection with the escalation of trade wars that began Trump. One can not exclude the existence of another "emergency exit" for the Russian market. The implementation of this scenario will depend on the immediate interest of the top American leadership. The fact that the last blow of the US Treasury was inflicted on the aluminum industry may be connected with an attempt to combine business with pleasure and throw companies from Russia off the American aluminum market. As you know, Donald Trump has already promised American aluminum producers full support. It can not be ruled out that the defeat of "Rusal" occurred, including, for this reason. If all this is true, the American roll-up in the near future may abruptly weaken. If not, then the next blow will inevitably fall on other Russian players, including from other industries. In this case, domestic industrial assets, as well as ruble, are threatened with the inevitable repetition of the events of last Monday. A clear answer to this question will depend on whether the US is ready to finally "bury" Russia, or leave her a small gate in the backyard.
