    Western trade grounds closed the trade session in the green zone. Asian indices showed upside dynamics on Thursday morning. As we expected, the report on the oil reserves in the US accompanied by the reduced level of the oil extraction have supported the oil quotes, which managed to fixate above 50 USD per barrel. The given factor will definitely provide support to the Russian market at Thursday open, however, generally we expect sideways dynamics as the participants of the market prefer to refrain from active operations until the decision on the rate has been announced.
