OREANDA-NEWS  By the end of March, the volume of yuan trading on the Moscow Stock Exchange with delivery of "tomorrow" exceeded 3.1 trillion rubles, which is 40 percent more than in February and 60 percent higher than a year earlier. Kommersant writes about this.

The average daily trading volume increased by 20 percent on a monthly basis due to a larger number of trading sessions. The last time investors were more active against the Chinese currency was in August 2023 (3.21 trillion rubles), but then the situation was affected by the weakening of the ruble to a level above 100 rubles per dollar.

The main reason for the current result was a shortage of yuan, which is indicated by an increase in the cost of borrowing in them. Due to the lack of currency, the volumes that were available were traded more actively.
