Russian Stock Exchange
Many traders who have been burned at least once on the Forex currency exchange become forever disillusioned with the possibility of making money and abandon this type of activity.
Also, most beginners who first encountered the world of exchanges through the foreign exchange market for some reason dismiss the stock exchange, claiming that its financial instruments are rather complex and difficult to forecast.
However, the stock exchange actually emerged much earlier than the foreign exchange market, and instruments that seem complex at first glance are significantly more valuable and much easier to forecast than the highly liquid foreign exchange market.
Have you ever considered becoming a shareholder in Gazprom or Lukoil, or are you interested in other oil companies or the banking sector?
Seeing all these questions, you probably smiled ironically, thinking about it. After all, trading only on the forex market, you couldn't even dream of such prospects. Just imagine what a stock market trader has, holding shares of a monopoly in their field, or a trader holding dollars bought with euros.
By trading on the stock exchange, you become the owner of a security, share, or debt obligation that, in addition to exchange rate differences, generates interest in the form of dividends, debt repayments, etc.
Of course, not everyone can afford to own securities, and their profitability is more interesting to investors, but you can try your hand at futures trading on minerals, fossils, agricultural products and more real goods that can be quite logically predicted.
The stock exchange itself allows you to unlock your full potential as both a trader and an investor.
List of Russian exchanges
Due to objective political reasons, the Russian stock market has developed much more slowly than other global exchanges. This is why the investment culture of the Russian population differs significantly from that of the US and other developed countries.
I suggest you familiarize yourself with the list of Russian stock exchanges and understand in more detail what operations take place on them.
1) Moscow Exchange MICEX-RTS
The Moscow Exchange MICEX-RTS is the youngest platform, yet it is also the most popular, boasting the largest turnover and list of issuers. The Moscow Exchange MICEX-RTS was created in late 2011 after the two largest exchanges, the MICEX (Moscow Interbank Exchange) and the RTS (Russian Trading System), merged into a single entity.
After the merger of two highly specialized platforms, traders and investors now have the opportunity to trade virtually every imaginable financial asset. The Moscow Exchange (MICEX-RTS) serves the stock market (equity trading), foreign exchange, commodities, over-the-counter (OTC), and money markets.
Participants on this platform can trade both underlying and derivative assets, trading futures, options, government bonds and receipts, and stock indices. Incidentally, if high liquidity and volatility are not enough for you, the RTS index futures will surprise you with their characteristics.
