### Russian Corporate Bonds Performance on Moscow Exchange Here is a summary of corporate bonds traded on Wednesday on the Moscow Exchange: - **RSHB (ISIN: RU000A1068R1)**: +1.2% - **Polyus (ISIN: RU000A108L81)**: +0.1% - **Borets Capital (ISIN: RU000A105ZX2)**: +0.1% - **AFK Sistema (ISIN: RU000A101XN7)**: -0.1% All corporate bonds have a credit rating, which helps investors quickly assess the creditworthiness of the issuer. In Russia, a national rating scale is used. The highest rating is "AAA", the lowest is "C", and there is also a "D" rating, which indicates an actual default. The higher the rating, the more reliable the issuer and, generally, the lower the yield on its bonds. - **AAA bonds**: These are the most reliable bonds, typically issued by large systemically important companies, often with state participation. - **A- to AA+ bonds**: These are reliable bonds, in which pension funds and other institutional investors invest. - **BBB- to BBB+ bonds**: This is a transitional category. These may be reliable companies that are sensitive to adverse market and economic events (e.g., an increase in the key interest rate). - **B- to BB+ bonds**: These are high-yield issuers (HYE). The risks are high, as is the yield. These may be small and medium-sized businesses operating in risky sectors. - **CCC and D bonds**: These are on the brink of default. The risks for these bonds are maximum.
