The Russian stock market on Thursday passed 2455 points according to the Moscow Stock Exchange index.
The Russian stock market ended Thursday's main trade with growth on hopes that the tripartite talks between Russia, the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi next week will lead to progress on the Ukrainian settlement, and buyers were also supported by recovering oil (January Brent futures rose to $97 a barrel) after a setback in the results of the midterm elections of the Democratic party in which the US Congress won.
