Aug 26 (Reuters) - Ukraine's sovereign dollar bonds fell
further on Tuesday, hitting a more than two-week low, as
optimism over a peace deal continued to fade.
The war-torn country's debt has slowly shed some of the
gains it made earlier this summer on hopes that an August 15
meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian
President Vladimir Putin could yield a peace deal.
The 2035 and 2036 maturities, which have no coupons but pay
more if the country's economy outperforms, fell the most, with
the latter shedding 1.7 cents to bid at 52.55 cents on the
dollar, below the 59.50 peak hit on August 20.
"We see continued downward correction in bonds, as the news
flow has not been supportive lately," Aberdeen portfolio manager
Viktor Szabo said.
Szabo added that the bonds linked to economic performance
were more sensitive to Ukraine's outlook, and had also
outperformed in the run-up to the Trump-Putin meeting.
