RTSI is a Russian stock market index representing 50 most important companies on the Moscow Stock Exchange. From the introduction in 1995 until May 2008, RTS index has performed very well. Then, the index remains sideways while American indices are rallying. One of the reasons for this lagging behavior could be the highly depressed commodity prices. As a matter of fact, Russian companies are strongly represented in the oil, gas, refining, metals and mining industries. Hence, it is obvious that in a period of strong US dollar and low commodity prices, those companies could not rise significantly. Currently, commodity prices seem to turn higher which can give a fuel for RTSI for a long expected rally.
