Western stocks won the fight for money from investors from Russia

In August, the volume of trading in shares of foreign issuers in Russia for the first time exceeded a similar indicator for securities of domestic companies. Experts believe that this is due to the arrival of new not too conservative investors on the exchange, and warn that such interest can not only hit the capabilities of Russian companies to raise funds from stock exchanges, but also noticeably increase pressure on the ruble exchange rate. In theory, this may lead to new restrictions for unskilled investors.
