On Wednesday the trading session at the Russian share market did not differ much with any type of events. The market began trades with weak reduction due to the foreign background, after which it gradually went positive. Totally there still are no driving factors – neither stats, nor ideas. Reaction to the output accounting reports by the Russian companies also is moderate. A bit more significant volatility was indicated on the steel-smelting sector and related sectors’ representatives. Possibly that was due to some activation of the steel prices.
