- The index was at 2,517.03 points at 12:00 Moscow time on Friday, 0.35% above Thursday's close.
- Thursday's advance followed reports of preparations for another round of Russia-US talks involving European countries.
- Oil prices, weekly inflation and expectations for the November 18-19 APEC summit remain relevant market factors.
The MOEX Russia Index was quoted at 2,517.03 points at 12:00 Moscow time on Friday, November 13, according to Vedomosti. That put the index 0.35% above its 2,508.23-point close on Thursday, a gain of 8.80 points.
Index remains above 2,500 points
The Friday move kept the benchmark above the 2,500-point level after it crossed that mark during the previous session. The Moscow Exchange identifies IMOEX as a capitalization-weighted index of liquid Russian stocks and lists RU000A0JP7K5 as its ISIN.
At 12:00 Moscow time, trading turnover cited by Vedomosti stood at 36.84 billion Russian rubles. The strongest individual share moves included Eurotrans, Promomed and M.Video, while Samolet, Etalon Group and VK were among the weaker names. These stock moves describe the broader market backdrop but do not represent the index itself.
Talks and oil remain in focus
RBC Investments reported that Thursday's rise was supported by statements from US special representative Steve Witkoff about preparations for another round of talks involving Moscow, Washington and European countries on the Ukraine conflict. The same analysis cited falling Brent prices and faster weekly inflation as factors limiting expectations for further Russian central-bank rate cuts.
For Friday, RBC Investments highlighted incoming international news, oil-price developments and expectations surrounding the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit scheduled for November 18-19. The index therefore entered the latter part of the week with gains intact, while commodity prices and geopolitical headlines remained central to the market narrative.
Trading context for investors
The Moscow Exchange's official index page states that IMOEX is calculated on weekday trading days from 07:00 to 23:50 Moscow time, with values published once per second. The quoted 12:00 level should therefore be read as a dated trading observation rather than the final value for Friday's full session.
