The Russian Stock Market

---

By: Anne Durrell

Despite the fact that the world economy is falling apart at a record pace, the Russian Stock Market has suddenly become one of the strongest and best performing markets in the entire world. All of this comes just one year after record lows were set for some Russian companies.

A lot of the growth in the Russian Stock Market has been fueled by the recent rise in energy costs. People are not looking at the small picture in the Russian economy. They are looking at the rise in the cost of oil and are banking on the belief that as the price of oil continues to rise, so will the economic outlook for Russia and the economy in the area.

Investors in the Russian Stock Market who have stayed in and braved the recent ups and downs have, for the most part, been rewarded with nice profits. One thing that is likely to change in the country is that currently almost sixty percent of the banks in Russia are privately owned. That is expected to change over the course of the next ten years and it should have a positive impact on the overall state of the market here.

Also during the next ten years the forecasters expect that commodities will become a strong portion of the Russian Stock Market and the overall economy. At this time there are no insurances traded here, that is expected to change. Construction as an industry will increase but the biggest increase will be in the area of roads and road construction companies.

The electricity portion of the Russian Stock Market and energy companies will likely go public and consolidate as will the rail and transportation industry. There is a high likelihood the agriculture sector will become stronger and organized and become a major player in the Russian Stock Market along with the Media Internet and Mobile electronics area.

As Russia strives to come into it's own the Russian Stock Market will also see tourism become something that is vital to the economy and as a result it will make an entry into the trade floor as well.

While the Russian Stock Market is currently strong, as the move towards public owned companies as opposed to privately owned continues and the technology advances, we should in all fairness see the market strengthen immensely in this country and become a strong player in the overall world economy.

Investing during uncertain times takes a leap of faith for anyone. Finding a place to invest what little money you may have is a tedious chore at best even for experienced traders. All indicators are that the Russian Stock Market is strong and is only going to get stronger as time progresses so it might be a great place to invest a little capitol.
