### Corporate Bonds Traded on Moscow Exchange on Wednesday Below is a list of corporate bonds traded on the Moscow Exchange (MosБиржа) on Wednesday: - Polus (PBO-04) (ISIN code: RU000A108L81) -1% - Borets Capital Bond 001P-05 (ISIN code: RU000A10EK71) -0.1% - AFK Sistema Issue 14 (ISIN code: RU000A101XN7) -0.2% 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, with the highest rating being "AAA" and the lowest being "C", with an additional "D" category indicating actual default. Generally, the higher the rating, the more reliable the issuer and the lower the yield on its bonds. - **AAA-rated bonds**: These are the most reliable, typically issued by large systemically important companies, often with state participation. - **A- to AA+ bonds**: These are reliable securities, favored by pension funds and other institutional investors. - **BBB- to BBB+ bonds**: This is a transitional category, including companies that may be sensitive to adverse market or economic events (e.g., an increase in the key interest rate). - **B- to BB+ bonds**: These are high-yielding issuers (HY bonds), with higher risks and higher yields, often issued by small and medium-sized businesses operating in risky sectors. - **CCC and D-rated bonds**: These are on the brink of default, carrying the highest risks.
