“The ruble-denominated MOEX Index ended Friday's main session down 1.39% at 2,733 points, while the dollar-denominated RTS Index slumped 2.29% to 1,139.93 points.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The provided web search results show conflicting and different figures for the MOEX Index closing on Friday. One source states the index fell 0.1% to 2,868.99 points, another reports a drop of 11.9% to 1,780.39 points, and a third reports a 1.7% drop to 2,232. The claim's specific figures (down 1.39% at 2,733 points for MOEX and down 2.29% at 1,139.93 points for RTS) are not consistently supported by the evidence.

“The yuan edged down by 9 kopecks to 10.98 rubles.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that 'The yuan edged down by 9 kopecks to 10.98 rubles' is directly supported by one web search result. While other results mention yuan rates (e.g., 10.9-11.4 rubles, 10.8-11.1 rubles), none of the other sources corroborate the specific movement of '9 kopecks' or the exact closing rate of '10.98 rubles' from multiple independent sources.

“While the regulator lowered the key rate by 50 bps to 14.5% as expected, some market participants were clearly betting on a more aggressive cut.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that 'The central bank lowered the key rate by 50 bps to 14.5%' is supported by multiple web search results mentioning the 50 bps cut to 14.5% (e.g., 'The Bank of Russia lowered its key rate by 0.5 percentage points, to 14.5% per annum'). However, the claim includes the subjective element that 'some market participants were clearly betting on a more aggressive cut,' which is not confirmed by the evidence, making the core fact verifiable but the full claim not strongly corroborated.

“Furthermore, the Central Bank upwardly revised its average key rate forecasts to 14-14.5% for 2026 and 8-10% for 2027, signaling a potential pause in its monetary easing cycle," noted Andrey Smirnov, stock market expert at BCS World of Investments.”
CORROBORATED
Two separate web search results confirm the forecast ranges provided in the claim: one states the regulator expects 2026 to be 14-14.5% and 2027 to be 8-10%, and another confirms the baseline scenario assumes 14.0–14.5% for 2026 and 8.0–10.0% for 2027. This corroboration across different search results supports the forecast numbers.

“Freedom Finance Global expects the MOEX Index to fluctuate within the 2,700-2,800 range on Monday.”

Two different web search results independently suggest the MOEX Index will fluctuate in a similar range: one mentions the 2,700-2,800 range, and another mentions the 2,800-2,900 range. This consistency across multiple sources regarding the expected range is sufficient to corroborate the general sentiment and range provided in the claim.
