In stock market developments, domestic plays are back in the black.

On Wednesday, Russian equities have been heading north, with no negativity rolling in from the US. As of 12:00 noon Moscow time virtually all blue chips traded higher on yesterdays close, with the list of frontrunners headed up by Uralsvyazinform (+2%), Lukoil (+1.7%) and Surgutneftegaz (+1.5%). Rostelecom, todays underperformer, edged up only 0.3%, but lately it has been known to buck market trends.
