What should an investor keep an eye on this week

The stock market is still in a weakened state due to increased sanctions and geopolitical risks, analysts at FG Finam noted. In addition, investors expected a more active step by the Central Bank in terms of monetary policy - a reduction to 16%, rather than 17%, was included in the price of securities. A possible weakening of the ruble, which can support exporting companies, can help the market.

On Monday, September 22, online retailer Ozon will complete the last trading day on the Moscow Stock Exchange before trading stops, Gazprombank Investments said. On the same day, Ozon Pharmaceuticals will make a decision on dividends. According to Digital Broker, this is also the last day for the purchase of shares of Kuibyshevazot with the right to receive payments. All events can affect the value of the securities of these companies.

On Tuesday, the Bank of Russia will publish a review on the development of the banking sector for August, Finam noted. This will give investors more information about the state of the market and its main participants.

On Wednesday, September 24, the Central Bank's board of directors will present a summary of the key rate discussion, and Rosstat will publish weekly inflation data, according to Cifra Broker. These events will tell investors what to expect from the regulator's policy regarding the key interest rate in the future. Tatneft and Novatek will make a decision on dividends on the same day, Finam said.

The RGBI government bond index may be held in the range of 115-117 points, noted in Digit Broker.

The Moscow Exchange index will continue to fluctuate in a wide range of 2600-3000 points.
