The Moscow Exchange index ended trading higher amid negotiations between Putin and Trump

At the end of the main trading session on Tuesday, September 8, the Moscow Exchange index added 0.4 percent, reaching 2274 points, which is only nine points higher than the previous day’s close. This is evidenced by the site data.

Moreover, during the day the indicator exceeded 2300 points, and it turned around only after a telephone conversation between the Presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. Investors were disappointed by the lack of specifics following the conversation.

Assistant to the Russian President Yuri Ushakov said only that the heads of state positively assessed the trip to Moscow of American negotiators Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner and agreed to continue working through this channel, and Trump spoke in favor of an early cessation of hostilities in Ukraine.

Last week, experts pointed out that positive expectations on the stock market are associated with the emerging resumption of contacts between Russia and the United States on the Ukrainian issue.
