Russia stocks were recorded as lower after the close on Saturday, though the summary headline for the chief benchmark offered a different note - the MOEX Russia Index was unchanged, at 0.00%, and was reported to have reached a new three-month high.
The session-level performer listings in the report showed no price change for the names singled out. AFK Sistema PJSC (MCX:AFKS) was reported unchanged at 0.00% or 0.00 points, closing at 13.25. Aeroflot PJSC (MCX:AFLT) likewise was recorded as unchanged at 0.00% or 0.00 points, finishing at 51.80. ROSSETI PJSC (MCX:FEES) was also cited as unchanged at 0.00% or 0.00 points, at 0.07 at the close.
Those three companies were listed as the top performers of the session, each showing the same unchanged result at the close. The same three were also listed among the session's worst performers in the report, again with unchanged prices - a duplication present in the available fields.
Market breadth figures in the provided data were similarly indeterminate. The report stated that falling stocks outnumbered advancing ones on the Moscow Stock Exchange by 0 to 0, a figure that does not offer a usable advance-decline balance.
Volatility measures were unchanged; the Russian Volatility Index - RVI, which measures implied volatility of MOEX Russia Index options, was reported unchanged at 0.00% to 23.81.
Commodity markets showed definitive moves. Gold futures for April delivery were reported up 1.58% or 80.00 to $5,158.70 a troy ounce. In energy markets, crude oil for April delivery rose 12.21% or 9.89 to $90.90 a barrel, and the May Brent oil contract rose 8.93% or 7.63 to trade at $93.04 a barrel.
Currency pairs involving the Russian ruble moved higher versus major currencies in the report: USD/RUB was up 0.41% to 79.00, and EUR/RUB rose 0.50% to 91.79. The US Dollar Index Futures was shown down 0.47% at 98.85.
Notes on the report content: several fields in the session summary were presented without clear or distinct values - notably the sector attribution that was said to have led shares was not specified in usable text, and the advance-decline figure was presented as 0 to 0. These items limit the degree to which a complete market breadth assessment can be drawn from the available data.
