High oil prices support Russian companies
The Russian stock market has reached a new high not seen since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022. The ruble-based MOEX index rose 0.2 percent to 3,422.3 points. This recovery was partly supported by recent comments from central bank chief Elvira Nabiullina, who signaled a possible cut in the key interest rate from the current 16 percent in the second half of the year.
Speculation about a possible interest rate cut and the generally optimistic mood on the market led to a rise in prices. Another factor that favored Russian stocks was high oil prices. The world price of Brent crude oil, Russia's main export, also rose. This supported the country's companies, which are heavily dependent on exports.
The Russian economy thus receives impetus from these various factors, which have a positive impact on the stock market. Investors reacted positively to the prospect of a possible interest rate cut and the stable environment created by high oil prices. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop and what long-term impact these developments will have on the Russian economy.
