“The Moscow Exchange will not conduct morning trading on the stock market on February 25, 2022.
Also, by decision of the Bank of Russia, morning trading on the derivatives market will not be held," the statement said.
It is noted that this decision is aimed at reducing the volatility of financial instruments during exchange trading hours.
Earlier, the Central Bank of Russia banned brokers from 11:00 on February 24 from making short sales on the exchange and over-the-counter markets until the order is canceled.
