UPDATE 1-EMERGING MARKETS-Ukraine bonds firmer; emerging stocks hit 3-1/2-wk high | Reuters:
"By Natsuko Waki
LONDON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Ukraine's sovereign bonds rose on
Monday after opposition protesters ended a two-month occupation
of Kiev's city hall, while emerging market stocks hit a
3-1/2-week high after upbeat Chinese lending data.
Ukrainian opposition protesters opened a road to limited
traffic, meeting an amnesty offer aimed at easing a stand-off
over President Viktor Yanukovich's rule. The authorities
withdrew riot police from a flashpoint district of the capital.
Ukraine's dollar bonds maturing in 2014, 2020 2023 all rose
around 1-2 points.
But the country's hryvnia currency quickly
erased gains to stand 0.6 percent down on the day at 8.82 per
dollar in trading thinned by a market holiday in the
United States."
