Russian stock trade opens neutral

A new fall in US stock indices was negative news; on the whole, the market news background is neutral currently. In the first minutes of trade on MICEX, growth leaders were Rostelecom shares. In general, one is not expecting any particular changes today. The continuation of a slight price advance is possible while expecting an upward correction on the overseas market.
