The Moscow Stock Exchange index, in general, remained at a positive level during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s message to the Federal Assembly on Tuesday, February 21.
According to RBC, Moscow Stock Exchange indicators remained positive today during Putin’s message to the Federal Assembly. This may indicate that the market has not received any alarms.
However, the episode of the speech of the leader of the country, where he spoke about the preparation for nuclear tests, was marked by an insignificant decrease in the index. Admittedly, this had little effect on the overall picture, summed up the analysts of the federal publication.
Today, February 21, Putin instructed the Ministry of Defense and Rosatom to ensure the preparation of Russian nuclear weapons tests. However, the Russian Federation does not intend to be the first to do so, tests will only be carried out after similar actions by the United States, the regional head previously reported.
