The MOEX Russia Index closed the main trading session on Monday, November 9, at 2,473.14 points, a gain of 0.38 percent from the previous session. The close was reported by TASS. The index had finished the previous Friday at 2,463.82 points, according to the latest report in the index coverage.
Inflation and diplomacy shaped sentiment
Market participants were assessing new inflation data as the annual rate moved below 7 percent. TASS cited analyst Andrey Smirnov of BCS World of Investments, who said the weekly figure had declined marginally for the first time since mid-August. Investors were also looking ahead to Russia-US-Ukraine peace talks scheduled to begin in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, November 10, according to Vedomosti.
Oil weakness offset by the ruble
Oil prices continued to decline during the session. The effect on exporter shares was partly offset by a weaker ruble, TASS reported. The yuan rose by 8.65 kopecks on the Moscow Exchange to 12.369 rubles. Vedomosti also reported that Brent futures fell 3 percent to 94.7 US dollars per barrel, while WTI futures declined 2.6 percent to 88.1 US dollars.
Leaders and laggards diverged
Mining and metals-related shares were among the market supports. TASS identified gains in Polyus, Rostelecom, Magnit, Kamaz and other stocks. Vedomosti listed Rostelecom common shares, Polyus, Severstal, NLMK and MMK among the strongest performers. Eurotrans was a major decliner after reports that the Trassa fuel-station chain had halted operations and that 57 stations had been seized by a lessor, according to TASS. VK and Alrosa were also among the weaker names.
For the next session, BCS projected a range of 2,420 to 2,520 points for the MOEX Index, as reported by TASS. That is an analyst forecast rather than a market signal or investment recommendation. Further coverage of the MOEX Russia Index is available in the topic section.
