Скачать или смотреть Russia bans Short Selling! Is the Moscow Exchange about to RE-OPEN?

Macro Update: 23 March 2022 - Moscow Exchange reopen?

Yesterday it was announced by the Russian Central Bank that shorting of stocks on about 30 key businesses would be banned. The companies included Gazprom stock, Lukoil stock, Sberbank stock, MMC Norilsk Nickel sock, and Rosneft Oil stock, as well as some Eurobonds. The move is the latest sign that Russia may once again be looking to open up the Moscow Exchange further after being closed for about a month since the start of the war in Ukraine.

The Russian central bank has earlier taken several other actions in signs that they are looking up to potentially reopen their financial markets further, such as a limited opening of the Moscow exchange for trading of Russian Rouble denominated bonds and the issuing of Decree 81 - which looks to limit foreign investment in Russian assets - particularly from investors from 'hostile/enemy countries.'

Thanks for watching! Let me know your thoughts on the topic in the comments!
