MOSCOW, September 30. /TASS/. The Russian stock market showed mixed dynamics during the last trading day of the week.

By the end of trading session on the Moscow Exchange, the MOEX index rose by 0.18% to 1,957.31 points, the RTS index fell by 1.54%, to 1,055.72 points.

"During the day, there were sharp bursts of volatility against the background of a rich news flow related to geopolitics, the volatility of the ruble exchange rate, as well as the expectation of a decision on Gazprom's dividends," said Alexander Bakhtin, investment strategist at BCS World of Investments.

By the end of the day, the dollar-to-ruble rate day rose by 1.04% to 58.25 rubles, the euro rate went up by 1.22%, up to 56.69 rubles.

However, during the day, the American currency fell down to 53.2 rubles, while the euro stormed the marks of 2014, dropping to 50.7 rubles. The reason for this was the market's unjustified fears regarding Western sanctions against the National Clearing Center (NCC).
