Filed Under Trader’s view |
For four day in a row Russian market has been failing, still backed by the negative environment. This Thursday however, the drop proved the lowest since the week’s beginning. RTS movement vector was looking down since the very morning. The sale of Norilsk Nickel’s blocking shares to RusAL only fueled the ongoing fire.
