it wasn't business as usual at the moscow exchange on thursday, while shares can now be traded. the still a ban on short selling and foreigners are not allowed to exit local equities. that may have helped prevent a sell off that many had feared. with the index rising nearly 4.4 percent on thursday. well, the stock market really is on the side show at this point. it's more of a sentiment of indicator because oxy companies are not raising any money on stock marketing and won't be able to. so it reflects just a sentiment amongst investors, very likely we will find out that the main buyer has been one of the government banks are one of the government funds. the russian government says it will spend at least $10000000000.00 on shares in the coming months to help support prices. but would that be enough? russia is largely an investable full west and multi nationals, and it will remain so as long as it continues its war in ukraine. most firms have already quit the country. our reminder of the top stories that we've been following for years this, our western leaders have pledged to impo

this provides a good proxy for investors to access the russian equity market while the moscow exchanged so etf's traded slightly differently than stocks in that they have multiple players of liquidity and for this reason, they are able to exchange wild the exchange is shut. rishaad: thank you. bloomberg intelligence etf analyst rebecca joining us. a big day. we've got ets at the moment in the crosshairs, as indeed is one of the premiership clubs in england. here is heidi with the first word news. haidi: indeed, the eu is discussing sanctions on the owner of chelsea football club and more than a dozen other prominent russians. according to documents seen by bloomberg, a list of 15 individuals and nine entities include several energy executives as well as leading media figures accused of spreading propaganda. the sanctions are expected to be finalized later on monday. a u.s. official says moscow has asked beijing for military equipment to support its invasion of ukraine. russia currently sells far more arms to china then advised though china has been producing more advanced weapons in re

already being dealt with, the government of the central bank and gazprom today, the dollar on the moscow exchange has dropped to the levels of the end of february, and non-struvaev is joining us. we have business news. denis, this is how the news on the russian-ukrainian negotiations worked. yes, they, of course, accelerated the growth of the ruble, but in general, now the russian currency has created such conditions that there is essentially no other option but to tremble. the dollar today fell below 83 for the first time since february 25, but by the close of trading, after all, the dollar reduced the scale of the fall on the basis of 85-25 euros. today i lost 2.5 rubles. rate 94-11 the currency market reacted to the results of the negotiations between russia and ukraine in istanbul. in addition, the ruble continues to support another set of tools. first, there are still no non-residents on the foreign exchange market. secondly, exporters are still required to sell 80% of foreign exchange earnings and thirdly, the market. now he will break his head over whether any of the buyers of russian pipe

proposals are already clear where they will buy kazakhstan in armenia yes , they come to the moscow exchange the experts have already described everything, they come to the moscow bible on the moscow exchange at the auction. they are without the participation of the central bank of such a number of rubles. no, that's why they have to step on the throat of their own sanctions song. they say that and the central bank of russia on the exchange of rubles, violating its own sanctions, but there is forex there are plenty of other money exchanges. but in general , there is no mechanism for so many rubles, while experts can assume anything they want, but there is no mechanism. i wanted to say a little from him. you see, the valve. he's like that, but i don't think so. i also think, to be honest, the truth is automatic. i am i don't think they will close. no, it won’t close, because, well, now, of course, we have to argue that they said 100,000 times there, but that these days, through uh, ukraine is transiting gas. everything in this will be closed will depend on how it develops the situation at tha

we talked about this last time that gazprom's revenue in euros will come to the moscow exchange wills, that buyers will come to interskol will bring to the moscow exchange will sell the same euros for rubles and will pay gazprom simply gazprom will not receive europe in this if there is no difference in this sense for russia there is no economic opponent. unclear. why? because to come to moscow by the way, to say to the question that then, they say, the proceeds will be safe for us , and in both cases the proceeds will be on correspondent accounts, there are banks in a commerce bank, and it can be transferred freeze no no difference no career if some kind of payment is frozen, and that's just it . the second interesting question, you see, when people say that we are a valve now let's cut it clear that, except with a gas stove in our kitchen. they've never dealt with it, and gas is a slightly more complex function. i did some research on these issues. i cannot say that i am well versed in the technology of gas production and gas transportation. it is very specific that it is not worth

will sell currency for conversion in rubles for paying for gas at the auction, we would have the moscow exchange eda, the international moscow currency exchange. that is, e, this is actually, so, e. that party must instruct the bank to carry out the conversion and transfer the converted rubles to gazprom. a very acceptable calm scheme of nothing. in general, as if fundamentally not changing. well, in the sense of a contract, but france is already declaring that germany and france will not buy gas for rubles, i will only say that if you have to stop the vintil, maybe there are such fools, who believe that they are so gas closed. then it became bad once and opened it. it again flowed no, the gas transportation system. if you close the screw, then put it all in order. it will take two to three months after the decision to launch again. berlin will not allow itself to be blackmailed by moscow through the eyes of the german economy in transferring payment for gas contracts into rubles, to blackmail, that is, russia understands it is important what you said, and what is russian blackmail what is russi

so how have these stocks perform since the moscow exchange reopened, anna?re it was klay's around a month ago, you would expect to see some hefty falls here. but guess what? they reopened. the moex was up 11% at one point. it's just come back. it's still up nearly 8% today. now, this reopening definitely had some limitations for it since there is a ban on short selling, which isn't surprising. i guess that would stop any negative smile. also a foreign investor selling chairs. there may be more intervention. the share prices do not reflect the economic situation on the ground in russia. it does not reflect the huge sanctions and the impact that would have had on all russian gains, particularly the big ones. and it's interesting that the white house has called this reopening a charade. this is not a real market. it's not a sustainable model. and he says that only underscores russia's isolation from the global financial system. this isn't the only big story today. overnight, president putin said they want unfriendly countries to pay for their gas contracts in r

we have russia's stock markets, the moscow exchange, closed at least until tomorrow.re is a question of do we know how deep the impact is. what do we know so far about the hurt to the russian economy and markets up to this point? paul: i guess the strongest indicator we have is the level of where the ruble is trading. it has come down a long way incredibly quickly over recent trading sessions. we hear based on offshore pricing, indicative levels, we don't have any official pricing, today and tomorrow is a holiday and the exchange won't be providing those services. it is hard to tell exactly where that is. another thing people are using to gain an idea of where russia's markets might be valued is etf's, which have been suspended as well. slowly but surely we are losing track with what market signals could be, but at the same time, investment managers are starting to act on their own in any case, marking the bonds down to zero or thereabouts. the same with the equities. do we put them into a bad bank, do we put them to one side and leave them in a pocket account? we can

so as we mentioned, moscow's stock exchange partially resumed trading today. how is this looking? is this a charade? >> reporter: you would expect to see a massive selloff here. and in the last day of trade right after the russian invasion of ukraine, you saw the main stock index fall by 33% and yet after lots of western sanctions, after we've seen a real toll be taken on the russian economy and they're trading nearly 10% higher, it was higher than that earlier this morning. why? there certainly is partial trading today. only 15% of the stocks on the index are actually trading. short selling has been banned. foreign investors are not allowed to sell their shares and that's certainly what she was talking about. he says what we're seeing is a sh raid. this is not a real market and not a sustainable model and it really only under scores russia's situation. what you cannot obscure is the economic pinch everyday russians will be feeling in russia. the high street, the ruble has lost so much of its value and inflation is so high. rosemary? >> as we've been discussing, some european coun

given equities if they ever open on the moscow stock exchange -- closed once again today -- will alsoaw in secondary listings yesterday, for instance, fell over 70% at one stage. this is the real impact we are seeing and there is pressure here on president putin from the everyday people seeing their lives getting more expensive, more isolated. but also, critically i think from some of those oligarchs. >> let's hope there is enough pressure to end this invasion, of course. and, anna, while russia has built up considerable reserves to protect against severe economic sanctions like these, president putin has, of course, been surprised by the severity and unity of action against him. and now, corporations are stepping up, aren't they, and doing their part. so what are the most significant moves being taken by some companies right now? >> yeah, we have had a slew of announcements actually from sort of big corporations. some of them forced to as a result of sanctions. some of them, choosing to. whether that's ethically or because they fear further sanctions to come. so, overnight, visa and
