The trades at the Russian market began with quotes drop. The external background was negative – oil fell to 70 USD per barrel, European grounds were lowering, ruble versus dollar reduced also. Those facts might have leaded to a 4% drop of the market within the first hours of the trades. Note that the second half of trades was rather calm – quotes deviation was insignificant and the market moved close to 1,080 points of the RTS index. All the liquid shares closed the day negatively, the shares of oil-and-gas and bank sector suffered the most.
