- The RTS Index stood at 955.54 points at 13:04 Berlin time on November 13, 2026.
- The index was 0.35% above the Moscow Exchange close of 952.21 points from November 12.
- The session remained unfinished, so the reading is an intraday update rather than a closing report.
The RTS Index was trading at 955.54 points at 13:04 Berlin time on Friday, November 13, equivalent to 15:04 Moscow time. Based on the previous official close of 952.21 points, the dollar-denominated benchmark was up 0.35% during the ongoing Moscow Exchange session.
The figure represents an intraday market reading, not a closing level. The Moscow Exchange identifies RTSI as a capitalization-weighted index of liquid Russian stocks and lists its calculation on weekday trading days through the evening Moscow session. Trading therefore had not ended at the time of the quoted level.
Positive Opening Carried Into Afternoon
The index entered the main session on a firmer footing. TASS reported that the RTS Index was at 954.46 points at 09:00 Moscow time and 955.44 points at 09:15, with both readings above the previous close. The afternoon quote shows that the index had broadly retained those gains several hours later.
The comparison basis is the official close for the preceding completed session. In its dated release, the Moscow Exchange reported an RTS Index close of 952.21 points on November 12. The 3.33-point increase to the intraday level corresponds to a 0.35% gain when calculated against that close.
Investor Takeaway
For investors, the move points to a modest continuation of the positive tone seen at the start of the session rather than a completed daily trend. Because the RTS Index is quoted in US dollars, its performance also reflects movements in the underlying Russian shares and the ruble-dollar exchange rate; the index level alone does not isolate either factor. No conclusion about the final daily direction should be drawn before the Moscow Exchange session ends.
