The Russian rouble continued its rebound, hovering above 97 against the dollar, while the stock market resumed trading after a month-long break. The bulk of equities advance was aided by Putin’s ban on short-selling and other support measures.

After the West levied unprecedented Western sanctions for what Russia terms “a special military operation” in Ukraine, the Russian currency plunged to a record low and the central bank ordered the suspension of most transactions, the markets are gradually reopening.
