A sharp fall in the stock exchanges of the Russian Federation began – media

Russian stock exchanges fell against the background of the announced “referendums” in the occupied territories of Ukraine.

Russian stock exchanges began to fall sharply against the backdrop of news about the occupiers’ announcement of “referendums” on joining the acquired parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions to the Russian Federation. This was reported by the Russian pro-government news agency Interfax on Tuesday, September 20.

The Moscow Exchange Index – one of the main stock indicators of the Russian Federation – on Tuesday afternoon, September 20, fell below 2300 points for the first time since the end of August.

In addition to “hardening geopolitical risks” with the news of pseudo-referendums, Russia also named the prospect of introducing new duties and the PDPI for exporters among the reasons for the fall.

In particular, by 14:53 Moscow Exchange index amounted to 2284.64 points (-6%), RTS index – 1200.92 points (-5.6%).
