LONDON, May 1 (Reuters) - Ukraine's international debt

rallied more than 1 cent on Thursday after Kyiv and Washington

signed a deal that will give the United States preferential

access to minerals in the country and fund investment

reconstruction.

The 2036 bond gained 1.1 cents in the dollar to be bid at

50.56 cents, Tradeweb data showed, while the GDP-linked warrants

added 1.4 cents to 71.71 cents.

The two countries signed the accord in Washington on

Wednesday after months of sometimes fraught negotiations.
