Moscow stock prices tanked last year

The Moscow Exchange’s RTS index fell 43 % last year from a high of 1,388 points to 791 points. The steepest drop came in December on the sharp drop in crude oil prices, even if the index has recovered somewhat thereafter.

The Moscow Exchange last year was among the poorest performing emerging market stock exchanges. The RTS Index has not seen such lows since spring 2009.
