The Moscow Exchange index fell below 2,600 points amid falling oil prices

The Moscow Exchange index again fell below 2,600 points, going into decline amid falling oil prices due to US President Donald Trump's words about the imminent conclusion of an agreement with Iran. This is evidenced by trading data.

At its minimum, the indicator reached 2598.26 points, and by the time of writing, it had fallen by 0.98 percent to 2599.85. At the same time, the top five decliners lost within 3.25-3.55 percent of the value of the securities.

In early May, when the Russian stock market last fell below this level, T-Investments chief economist Sofia Donets pointed to the impact of high geopolitical tensions and concerns about the situation during the holidays.
