On May 25, 2025, the Russian stock market suffered a significant blow following Donald Trump's statements about the possible introduction of new sanctions against Russia. The Moscow Exchange index fell by 1.62% within just a few hours of trading, leading to a loss of capitalization of about 100 billion rubles. The most affected were the shares of Gazprom, which quickly lost value. The market's decline was a reaction to investors' fears about the intensification of economic pressure from the United States, which could further complicate the situation of the Russian economy.
These events are part of a broader trend, as earlier, in March and April 2025, the Russian market had already experienced shocks due to sanctions and falling oil prices. In particular, the complete international blockade of Russian banks and restrictions on oil exports intensified the crisis.
Analysts warn that 'it will get worse' if the pressure of sanctions increases. The exchange rate of the dollar remains stable at 79.5 rubles, but investors are preparing for new shocks. This situation once again highlights the vulnerability of the Russian economy to external factors.
