As Mrs Anna Trifonova, Vice-president of RTS believes, RTS Index, being the benchmark of the Russian stock market, reflects the dynamics of development of economic and political situation in Russia. However, global world events and world prices for oil and other resources also influence this indicator. RTS Index reflects the positive mood of all the market participants and the general stability of the economic and political situation in Russia.
