The last trading day of the week at the Russian share market was full of various events. Besides, France, Germany and the whole European Union announced data on 2Q 2010 GDP, which turned out to be a little (and in case of Germany – a lot better) than expected.

 

We assume today the trades will open at the Russian market with moderate correction due to the bad stats on GDP in Japan, which unlike the good stats from the Eurozone have not been won back by the markets on Friday.
