FRANKFURT — Viktor Yanukovych has claimed a narrow victory in Ukraine’s presidential election, though his opponent Yulia Tymoshenko, the prime minister, has refused to concede defeat, according to media reports on Monday. With just over 90% of votes counted, Yanukovych had won 48.49% and Tymoshenko — 45.86%, a margin of 2.63 percentage points, Reuters reported. Tymoshenko, who said her team is doing a “parallel count” of the ballots, is expected to challenge the results, according to reports. “Depending on the final results, potential non-acceptance and further actions to challenge the results, we would view this election outcome as slightly negative for markets,” said analysts at Barclays Capital in a note to clients easy pay day loans. “Given the strong performance of Ukraine credit over the past couple of weeks and its resilience during the recent market weakness, risks seem skewed to the downside at the moment.”
