Negotiation hopes support sentiment
Investor sentiment was supported by expectations of progress in discussions on a possible settlement of the Ukraine conflict. Finmarket reported that representatives from Russia, Ukraine, the United States and potentially European countries could participate in subsequent talks, while Russian officials said a new round might take place in the foreseeable future.
Higher oil prices also provided support. January Brent futures traded above 96 US dollars per barrel during the session, with the commodity rising amid geopolitical developments in the Middle East and supply concerns.
Energy and financial stocks lead
Among index constituents, En+ Group rose 3.9%, Moscow Credit Bank gained 3.0% and Transneft advanced 2.5%. Renaissance Insurance and T-Technologies also closed higher. VK, Positive Group and ALROSA were among the weaker large index constituents.
The market's weekly advance came despite continued uncertainty over the geopolitical outlook and monetary-policy conditions. Analysts cited by Finmarket expected the index to remain in a broad 2,450-to-2,550-point range in the coming week, with oil prices and developments in the negotiation process remaining important factors for investor sentiment.
