It is the metalworking sector index that became a leader among the sector indices in November, up 12.1% since the beginning of the month. The stock market capitalization as of the 27th of November amounted to Rb 23,9 trillion (36.9% of GDP), an increase of Rb 218,5bn (0.9%) since the 3rd of November. The corporate bond market in November saw some adverse trends such as downward trend in the corporate bond index and investment, and the acceleration of the average weighted bond yield (especially in the production sector). Such indicators as the corporate bond market volume and investment activity of bond issuers showed positive dynamics. At the same time, deterioration in issuers’ failure to discharge their obligations to bondholders was observed.
