What should an investor keep an eye on this week
The main event of the upcoming week is the meeting of the Bank of Russia on October 23. Most analysts expect the key rate to remain at 14%, Izvestia previously reported. However, the updated forecast and the rhetoric of the regulator will also have an impact on the market. If the Central Bank's message turns out to be too harsh, the market may react by falling.
October 19 is the last day for the purchase of shares of Mother and Child with the opportunity to receive dividends for the first half of 2026, analysts of the management company First reported.
On Tuesday, Severstal, Glorax and Europlan will present their operating and financial results for the first nine months of 2026. The Central Bank will publish a review of the banking system and the balance of credit institutions.
On October 21, PhosAgro will publish its nine-month financial statements.
On Thursday, Akron will hold a shareholder meeting on dividends, and RusHydro will present its operating results for the first nine months of 2026.
A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia on the key interest rate and the publication of the medium-term forecast will be held on October 23. Also on this day, "All Instruments.<url>" will reveal the operating results for nine months.
This week, the ruble will trade in the range of 82.4–85 per dollar, 92.5–95 per euro and 12.3–12.7 per yuan, Finam said.
The expected range for the RGBI government bond index this week is 110-113 points against the current 111.6.
According to the forecast of analysts of FG Finam, the Moscow Exchange index will remain near the highs — about 2,450 points. The scenario of keeping the rate at 14% has already been reflected in prices, so the market may respond with a decrease only to the tightening of the regulator's rhetoric. At the same time, there are no serious grounds for a new wave of growth yet.
