"Reports that the EU agreed the next package of anti-Russian sanctions, comprising in particular a paragraph on the ‘price cap' for oil supplied from Russia acted as the negative driver," Alexander Bakhtin from BCS Investment World comments.

The expected closing range for the MOEX Russia Index tomorrow is 1,950-2,070 points, BCS Investment World believes.
