Today share trading opened a little higher than yesterday's closing level due to the change in investor sentiment over the increase in most world stock indices. However, the stocks began to fall right after the opening and soon reached the previous level. The stock quotes slightly fluctuated until 11:50 and then continued to drop further. The Central Bank's decision to issue bonds before the end of this year may affect the share market. If bonds of the Bank of Russia turn out to be attractive for investors, they may absorb some funds from the share market, which is characterized by high risks. Today just like yesterday, there are neither active buyers nor sellers on the Russian share market. The MICEX index rose 0.2% at 106.64 points by 12:00. The RTS index advanced by 0.23% at 97.86 points. The RBC index, which is calculated on the basis of data provided by various trading sites, dropped 0.24% at 18.84 points. The MICEX trading volume amounted to RUR 38.7 million (about $1.488 million), the RTS trading volume came to $870,700 after the first trading hour.
