The Moscow Exchange was closed on Friday, February 23, 2024 for Defenders Day

Celebrates the armed forces and commemorates the founding of the Red Army
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2024
History
First celebrated in 1919, the holiday marks the date in 1918 during the Russian Civil War when the first mass draft into the Red Army occurred in Petrograd and Moscow (on 17 February).

In January 1919, it was decided to combine the celebration of that day with the anniversary of the publication of the decree on the establishment of the Red Army (of 18 February 1918).

In 1919, 17 February fell on a Monday, so it was decided to move the holiday to the following Sunday, 23 February. That choice of day has been retained ever since.[1] It was originally known as "Red Army Day"

The ruble-based MOEX Russia index held its early surge to close 2.3% higher at 3,213 on Monday, nearly recovering from the plunge in the prior week as softer-than-expected Russian sanctions from the United States erased earlier concerns of restrictions to key industries for the Russian economy.

Rusal and NorNickel each added more than 2% as the aluminum and nickel sectors escaped penalties.

The expectations of steady government revenues from commodity exports in turn lifted the energy sector, with Transneft, Russneft, and Rosneft all jumping more than 2.5%.

Lastly, Rostelecom added 3.5% after posting strong results.

Still, plunging capacity pressures in Russian refiners drove Moscow to ban gasoline exports from March to September to protect domestic fuel prices. Rosneft, Lukoil, and Tatneft traded in the red.
