OREANDA-NEWS During trading on Monday, June 8, the Russian stock market continued to fall. The Moscow Exchange index dropped to 2,550 points, which was the lowest since November 18, 2025, according to the site's data.
Since June 3, when a local maximum was observed, the drop has already reached 80 points. Since the beginning of the year, the index has lost more than 200 points. Analysts cite the negative geopolitical background as the main reason.
Investors are also under pressure from the threat of new sanctions and the worsening situation in the Middle East. The acceleration of inflation in weekly and annual terms, which was reported by Rosstat last week, also has an impact.
The latter circumstance reduces the likelihood of a faster reduction in the Central Bank's key rate. The possible increase in the Russian budget deficit, which President Vladimir Putin acknowledged at the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), also plays against this.
A separate problem remains the strong ruble, which puts pressure on exporters. Despite the departure from local highs at the beginning of this week, the exchange rate of the Russian currency returned to growth. In the Forex market, the dollar fell to 73.39 rubles, according to Investing data as of 13:45 Moscow time.
