Among the best-performing stocks on the MOEX Russia Index was Federal Hydro Generating Company RusHydro PJSC (MCX: HYDR), which climbed 1.16% to close at 0.44.

Overall market breadth was positive, with advancing stocks outnumbering decliners by 131 to 80, while 27 stocks finished unchanged. The Russian Volatility Index (RVI), which tracks implied volatility of MOEX Russia Index options, remained steady at 31.02, indicating stable investor expectations despite mixed equity performance.
