The Micex Index advanced 0.2% to 1,475.79 by 3:45 p.m. in Moscow. The index has advanced 5.3% so far this year. All but one sector gained within the index.

RAO's stake is valued at around 50 billion rubbles. Meanwhile, the worst performing companies were M Video OJSC, PIK Group and DIXY Group OJSC by losing 0.64%, 0.52% and 0.50%, respectively.
