 JSC Finance Company REAL Invest.kz notes the following significant
 developments on the world stock, commodity and currency market:

 - on Thursday Western stock exchanges were closed again with
   lowered, thus the result of two days was offset by growth in the
   beginning of the week. The U.S. and Europe during the last trading
   session continued to be under negative pressure, caused by the
   release of economic data on Wednesday. In addition, the aid "bears"
   was released a report on U.S. employment, according to which the
   total number of unemployed receiving benefits, last month increased
   by 81 thousand regard to corporate records, because of the
   controversial nature of their publications, analysts of "REAL Invest. kz
   "believe that in general, their influence on the dynamics of the market
   was neutral.

 - platforms on emerging markets once again went on the
   dynamics - the Brazilian Bovespa, together with the Chinese
   Shanghai Composite added, while the Indian BSE and Russia's RTS
   index - on the day fixed reduction. Analysts of "REAL Invest.kz"
   indisputable reason for such an ambiguous character of the dynamics
   considered controversial foreign background established in the West
   grounds, at the same time, quotes, indices emerging markets to some
   extent supported by the jump in oil prices.

 - The cost of a barrel of oil on the day grew by 1.5%, while in the
   first half of the day consisted of more than two percent spurt quotes,
   probably caused by technical factors, such as touch the support level
   at around $ 76.5. Additional surprisingly similar dynamic is another
   reason that the stock markets at this point quite clearly dominated by
   a negative, and the moment of sudden spurt of oil quotations, indexes
   U.S. just has accelerated in the opposite direction. In general, the
   cost of a barrel of oil once again managed at arm's length closer to
   the mark at $ 79, and it is possible that it is today traders will try to
   test it.

 - The cost of an ounce of gold added, approximately one half a
   percent, while another is not too marked an attempt to overcome the
   mark of $ 1,170 was not successful. Trading volume slipped back to
   its lowest level, due to switching of market participants to more
   interesting and potentially profitable assets, amid the ongoing
   corporate reporting season.

 - An important achievement of the "REAL Invest.kz" considers
   currency attack of pair EUR/USD mark of 1.30, and thus the
   achievement of a new three-month maximum. During the session
   the quotations reached the level of 1.31, followed by a mild correction,
   but the euro has still managed to gain a foothold above the level of
   1.30, had remained inaccessible for the past 10 sessions. The
   prospects of the currency pair, according to "REAL Invest.kz", yet do
   not look the same - analysts of "REAL Invest.kz" believe that mark in
   1.30 will not be delivered "bear" without a fight, at the same time, the
   following important resistance level is a mark of 1.35 which
   represents a five-month maximum, and this circumstance in some
   measure probably will encourage market participants on the
   achievement of this level.

 - British pound, despite the end of the day near the levels of its
   beginning, has also reached an important goal, resist above the
   mark to 1.56, with a sufficiently negative, accompanied traded on the
   stock and commodity areas. Analysts of "REAL Invest.kz" think that
   there are substantial barriers to achieving short-term notes at 1.60 in
   the pound is not, however, given the usual for this currency pair,
   increased volatility does not rule out the numerous quotations of
   correction that may accompany the achievement of a pound mark of
   1.60.
