MOSCOW (AA) – Trading on the Moscow Exchange will remain closed Thursday.
In a written statement, the exchange said transactions will not continue due to the "current situation."
Trading on Russia's benchmark stock index, the MOEX, was suspended until further notice after plummeting a whopping 33.3% on Feb. 24 when Russia launched a war on Ukraine.
The MOEX nosedived 35% in February compared to the previous month.
