Retail investors support stock market in July
10 August 2026
News
In July, individuals became net buyers of stocks (+₽24.4 billion), regardless of the market adjustment. However, individuals’ net purchases of corporate bonds (₽90 billion) still exceeded those of stocks and federal government bonds (OFZ). Over the past 12 months, gold and ruble-denominated money market instruments demonstrated the highest yields.
In July, the volatility of most Russian market segments went down or stayed at the previous month’s level. The ruble continued depreciating, albeit more slowly. OFZ yields were changing diversely, rising for short maturities and declining for long maturities.
