MOSCOW, Jun 22 (PRIME) -- The Russian stock market grew on Tuesday backed by positive dynamics of Western floors, rising oil prices, and a stable ruble, analysts said.
The MOEX Russia Index rose 0.22% to 3,821.68 and the RTS increased 0.19% to 1,645.59.
“In the second half of the day, the external background began to improve, causing a moderate rise in our shares. However, we were unable to refresh the daily highs, still experiencing pressure from the worsening geopolitical situation caused by the recent announcement of new anti-Russian measures,” BCS World of Investment expert Dmitry Babin said.
Oil and gas companies were among growth leaders, with gas giant Gazprom adding 1.15% and oil major Rosneft rising 1.82%.
