Weekend trading sessions are considered part of the Monday morning additional session, and settlements on completed transactions are conducted on Tuesday.
In addition to extending the trading time, on February 21, the St. Petersburg Stock Exchange increased the list of Russian stocks available for trading. 16 new securities have been added to the list, which increases the choice for investors. These changes are aimed at increasing the convenience and attractiveness of weekend trading.
