Barclays Stock News

Oil prices broke above $100 a barrel for the first time since 2014, stock markets hit a record low on Thursday, 24 February, after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion of Ukraine. Russian bond prices also fell, sending yields to their highest levels since 2015. The Moex index fell 45 per cent in early European trading, while the rouble tumbled to a record low against the dollar after Vladimir Putin said he had decided to conduct a “special military operation” to demilitarise and “de-Nazify” Ukraine. Shares in oil and gas majors plummeted, with Gazprom down 48 per cent, and Lukoil and Novatek both more than 40 per cent weaker, leaving the Moex down 56 per cent since the start of the year. The scale of the shock to markets suggests that investors had expected the Russian president to back down. You have the panic button being hit right now, I don’t think the market was pricing in the risk of a proper military conflict,” said Emmanuel Cau, head of European equity strategy at Barclays. “For the time being, it’s hard to see what could be a trigger for the market to stabilise.” The Moscow exchange had earlier halted operations after the rouble fell by 3.5 per cent to more than 84 to the dollar following reports of explosions in several Ukrainian cities.
