MOEX can refer to two distinct concepts: the Moscow Exchange and the MOEX Russia Index.

The Moscow Exchange was established on Dec. 19, , by merging Moscow's two largest exchanges, the Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange (MICEX) and the Russian Trading System (RTS). MOEX is sometimes referred to as MICEX-RTS. MOEX is Russia's largest exchange and facilitates trade in equities, bonds, derivatives, foreign exchange (forex), money markets, and precious metals. It also operates Russia's central securities depository and the country's largest clearinghouse.

The MOEX Russia Index, or IMOEX, is a stock index that tracks the performance of the 50 largest and most liquid stocks across 10 sectors in Russia. It is a capitalization-weighted composite index, which means that companies with larger market capitalization will constitute a larger percentage of the index's value. Some of the top holdings are Gazprom (GAZP), an oil and gas exploration and development company; Sberbank (SBER), a state-owned banking and financial services company; Aeroflot (AFLT), Russia's largest airline; Rosneft (ROSN), a state-controlled company that extracts, produces, refines, and sells petroleum and natural gas; and Novatek (NVTK), the largest independent company that explores, produces, and markets natural gas in Russia.

Below, we focus on the Moscow Exchange.

MOEX IPO

MOEX went public after an initial public offering (IPO) on Feb 15, , helping to raise 15 million rubles, or $ million. As of the company's annual report, its largest holders include the Central Bank of Russia, Sberbank, Vnesheconombank, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. In the United States, Capital Research and Management holds a significant share of MOEX.

Operations

Stock market: MOEX facilitates trading in Russian and foreign shares, depository receipts, mutual fund units, and other equities-based trades.

Debt market: MOEX permits trades in OFZs (issued by the Russian government), regional and municipal bonds, Russian corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities.

Precious metals: Trading in precious metals occurs through the Foreign Exchange Market and the Precious Metals Market of the MOEX.

Money market:Repurchase agreements through a central clearing counterparty allow banks, brokerage firms, and non-financial institutions to participate in this segment of the MOEX.

Standardized derivatives: All standardized derivatives transactions have to be cleared by a central counterparty.

In , Moscow Exchange launched a major initiative to segregate clearing and trading participants. As a part of this process, a new “general clearing firm” category was created with higher capital requirements. This is in line with best practice in developed markets, highly capitalised market participants accept the clearing and settlement risks of smaller players. This the overall risk of centralised settlement systems. Companies with ‘general clearing firm’ status are eligible to provide clearing services to other categories of FX Market customers, both Russian and foreign legal entities. Market participants operating via general clearing firms will be able to reduce costs of trading on the FX Market.

Moscow Exchange continued to develop its FX offering in  On 1 December, it started trading in GBP and HKD in TOM and TOD instruments, and overnight swaps without full pre-funding, with settlement in RUB. Trading in the currency pair BYR/RUB was facilitated as the requirement of the full pre-funding was removed, new were instruments offered — namely with TOM settlement and overnight swaps — and trading hours were extended.

As of 24 February, the Exchange launched new FX indicators such as USD/RUB swap fixings calculated for swaps with maturity from 1W to 1Y. These indicative rates are set daily at  p.m. MSK based on aggregated deal and price data for anonymous orders.

Trading volumes on FX Market, RUB trln

Reduced fees for large block trades improved FX Market liquidity and decreased costs for brokers. Fees for spot trade orders of 10  lots (one lot equalling USD 1  or EUR 1 ) or more were reduced by 13% to 25% depending on the fee schedule.

CNY was one of the currencies traded on the Exchange in  The boost was driven by the enhancement of trading opportunities for CNY/RUB in  (with an increase in the range of available instruments, trading hours extended and full pre-funding cancelled) and through cooperation arrangements being reached with the largest Chinese banks acting as market makers for the Exchange’s major denominated instruments.

FX trading volume breakdown by clients

The CNY trading volume grew from RUB 37 bln to RUB  bln in  This liquidity boost in the segment prompted the Exchange to offer CNY/RUB futures contracts.

The Exchange continued to enhance its international partnerships as part of its objective to establish an integrated currency market. In , resident banks from countries of the Eurasian Economic Community (EurAsEC) were admitted to the Exchange’s FX Market with a license from their national regulators i.e., without the need to obtain a Russian FX license. Four banks from Belarus and Tajikistan began trading on Moscow Exchange in the same year. In , the National Bank of Tajikistan became the first EurAsEC national bank to join the Exchange; AsiaCredit Bank was the first bank from Kazakhstan and Belagroprombank came from Belarus. The trading volume of non-resident member banks of EurAsEC grew to RUB  bln in 

The Exchange will continue to develop its Direct Market Access (DMA) and Sponsored Market Access (SMA) technologies. The SMA service, which provides clients with full access to the Exchange’s software and hardware suite, will be updated to meet global standards to appeal to new international institutional investors.

The Exchange will work to attract retail customers by carrying out awareness campaigns regarding the benefits of on-exchange currency conversion transactions against cash operations.

In addition, a new clearing arrangement — payment-versus-payment (PVP) — will be offered to settle OTC trades via the NCC Clearing Bank.

The Exchange will continue to develop the integrated FX Market as part of the EurAsEC in order to activate trading in national currencies. In particular, the product offering and number of non-resident member firms from the EurAsEC will be expanded, which will stimulate trading in both major currency pairs and national currencies.

Spreads

The Standard account comes with spreads starting from pips, the Titanium account from pips, the Premium account from 1 pip, and the Platinum account has starting spreads as low as 0 pips. The spreads are variable which means that the markets can have an influence on the spreads provided, the more volatility the higher the spreads will be. Different instruments will also have different starting spreads as on the Titanium account, EURUSD has a typical spread of pips while GBPUSD has a typical spread of pips.

Minimum Deposit

The minimum amount required to open up an account is $, this will allow you to use the Standard account, if you want a different account then you will need to deposit at least $5, We do not know if this requirement drops once an account has been opened but we would expect it to be lower.

Deposit Methods & Costs

The only method mentioned on the funding options page is Bank Wire Transfer, so as far as we are aware this is the only method available. You can deposit in EUR, USD, GBP, PLN, or CZK. RTS Markets will not add any commission or transfer fees, however, you should check with your own bank to see if they charge any outgoing transfer fees of their own.

Withdrawal Methods & Costs

The same method of Bank Wire Transfer seems to be the only method to withdraw with. Just like with the deposit, there are no added fees or commission from RTS Markets, however, your own bank may charge for incoming processing or conversion.

Withdrawal Processing & Wait Time

It will take between 3 to 5 business days to fully process your withdrawal request, this time will depend on the speed of your own bank’s processing. RTS Markets do not give an exact time for their own side of the processing procedure.

Bonuses & Promotions

It does not appear that there are any active promotions or bonuses taking place at the time of writing this review, it does not mean that there won’t be any in the future though. If you are interested in bonuses, you should contact the customer service team to see if there are any coming up that you could take part in.

Educational & Trading Tools

There isn’t much when it comes to education, there is a page with instrument expiration dates, another detailing market hours, one showing different holidays, and the final page is an economic calendar that is detailing upcoming news events and it shows the potential impact that the news could have on the markets. Many modern brokers are now trying to help their clients learn and improve on their trading, so it would have been nice to see RTS Markets make a little more effort in this department.

Customer Service

The customer service team is available between Monday to Friday to GMT, the technical support team is available 24 hours a day 5 days a week. You can get in touch using the online submission form, fill it in and you should get a reply via email, you can also use the provided postal address, email address, or phone number.

• Phone: +44
• Email: [email&#;protected]
• Address: Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands MH

Demo Account

Demo accounts can allow new traders to test out the markets and they can allow existing clients to test out new strategies without any real risk, so it is a shame to see no mention of them on the RTS Markets website, the FAQ has a question about them, but there is no answer. You may be able to open one once you have fully signed up, but we cannot say for sure.

Countries Accepted

The following statement is present at the bottom of the website:

“RTS Markets does not provide services to residents of British Columbia, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Canada, and the USA.”

Conclusion

There is a good choice of accounts with their own individual trading conditions. The spreads on the Standard account are a little high, but if you move up the tier list the trading conditions can become a lot more competitive. There are also plenty of assets and instruments available to trade, so you should always be able to find something to trade. The funding methods are limited with just Bank Wire Transfer being available, it would be nice to see more options but the good news is that there are no added fees. Plenty of ways to contact the customer service team means they are accessible too.

You now have the information needed to decide if RTS Markets are the right broker for you if not, then be sure to check out some of the other reviews and you will hopefully find the one that is right for you.
