MOSCOW, October 28 (RIA Novosti) - The Russian stock market ended the day Friday in positive territory against the backdrop of activity on world markets.
In the morning, leading securities retreated slightly from Thursday but started moving forward in the afternoon.
"Strong support for most trading issuers," as well as stable high oil prices and the recent growth of non-ferrous metal prices, prevented the market from retreating further, Alexander Potavin, an analyst with NetTrader.ru, said.
