The MICEX index closed at 887.48 points (-1.65%). The RTS index amounted to 784.01 points (-2.39%) as a result of trading.

The external background before the opening of Russian trading on Tuesday was moderately negative. As a result, the Russian market opened with a decline in the most liquid stocks, Finam Investment Company notes. By 12.40 Moscow time, the MICEX index fell by 3.43% and amounted to 871.46 points, the RTS index - 783.65 points (-2.43%). second tier, the decline reached even greater proportions. The drop leader was Sberbank (-5%), which is trying on the likely problems of Citigroup and Bank of America in attracting additional capital. VTB shares looked more resilient, declining only 2.5%. "Neftyanka" lost 2-4% against the backdrop of more than a 2% drop in commodity prices. The only green spots on the market were preferred shares of Rostelecom (+3.6%) and Pharmstandard (+3.4%). The shares of Pharmacy Chain 36.6 looked better than the market, adding almost 40% on rumors about the purchase by the Western fund and the sale of the Veropharm pharmaceutical plant. The second day there was a correction on the Russian market. According to ITinvest chief analyst Alexander Potavin, the third consecutive trading session of decline is a sure sign that our market may go to lower levels in the future. “Expectations of negative events around American automakers, fears about the lack of bank capital kill the desire of investors to take risks, which causes the strengthening of the dollar and the flow of money to protective assets,” the analyst comments. According to Alexey Pavlov, Deputy Head of the Analytical Department at IC Arbat Capital, a correction on the Western and domestic markets was necessary from a technical point of view: “Continuous growth continued for two months, and the markets looked quite “overheated.” the level of 887.48 points (-1.65%). The RTS Index amounted to 784.01 points at the end of trading (-2.39%). Also, experts pay attention to the upcoming long May weekend. As Ivan Fomenko, an analyst at Absolut Bank, emphasizes, this factor should not be discounted. “Apparently, investors will have a much calmer rest while in the“ cash ”- you never know what can happen during this time on international exchanges, where an already unpredictable situation threatens to worsen even more under the influence of commodity markets. I think that in the coming days, sales at low levels of turnover and activity of participants will prevail on Russian sites,” he explains. The exchange rate of the ruble against the dollar today amounted to 33. 55, the cost of the dual-currency basket - 38.12 rubles. “Despite the risks of a certain reduction in the relative value of the Russian ruble in the longer term, from the point of view of the coming months, the potential for at least an overall significant stability of RUB quotes on FX seems high. The still generally positive price statistics of the oil segment, the availability of reserves in the Russian Federation necessary to compensate for the consequences of the credit crisis, as well as the gradual recovery of the financial markets of the Russian Federation that has recently been developing, support the indicators of the investment attractiveness of the Russian currency in the international market,” notes Alexander Osin, Chief Economist at Finam Management. "Oil prices, which in April for the most part languished near the $50 per barrel mark, have recently been oriented towards stock markets, as it is there that investors are looking for confirmation of the improvement that has begun in the global economy," comments Boris Olshansky, Head of Financial and Stock Markets at B&N Bank: “In my opinion, the quotes of “black gold” may fall again in the near future against the backdrop of weak demand for energy and uninspiring statistics. On Sunday, OPEC member countries declared that they could continue to put up with low oil prices, as long as it helps the global economy recover,” he predicts. By 20.15 Moscow time, the price of Brent blend was $49.6 per barrel, US light oil Light Sweet - $ 49.34 per barrel. Trading in Europe ended in the "red zone": the FTSE index lost 1.69%, the CAC 40 index - 1.66%, the DAX index - 1.85%.
