expect the mixed opening of the domestic sites. For Russia"s stock market develops mixed external background. Closing U.S. sites was in the red zone, the Asian session demonstrates the dynamics of differently directed, quotations of petroleum are located near the mark at $ 72 per barrel. All these factors could have an impact on the domestic stock market.

However, the expected macro-economic statistics today from overseas can make a substantial risk, particularly data on U.S. gross domestic product for the 4 quarter. In such a situation we do not recommend to open long positions, at least, before the release of statistical data at 16:30 Moscow time.
