Why private investors are interested in cheap Russian shares

Despite the crisis and the collapse of quotations of many companies, the Moscow Stock Exchange shows positive dynamics. Cheap Russian shares have attracted private investors. For April it is fixed 4,57 million people who have opened brokerage accounts on a trading platform of capital.
The coronavirus pandemic, which blocked full activity in many markets, as well as a sharp decline in oil prices led to serious crisis processes, both in the world and in the country. The situation was worsened by the collapse of the ruble exchange rate, and the profit of the Moscow Exchange decreased by almost 20% in comparison with the first quarter of last year. Russian companies’ shares lost value, but this did not cause a decrease in interest in them. On the contrary, cheap securities attract retail investors to the stock exchange, which buys up assets.

In March the number of individuals who have carried out at least one transaction within a month, has made more than 606 persons. For the same period last year, this figure was fixed at 244 people.
Despite the crisis, the trade turnover for March was a record high for the exchange. The total volume of investment in the Moscow market amounted to 43.7 billion rubles, which is 2 times higher than the highest values last year. This indicator is calculated on the basis of the difference between the total number of transactions for the purchase and sale of assets made by individuals.
