### 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) +0.8% - **Borets Capital Bond 001P-05** (ISIN code: RU000A10EK71) +0.6% - **AFK Sistema Issue 14** (ISIN code: RU000A101XN7) -0.6% All corporate bonds have a credit rating, which allows investors to 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. Generally, the higher the rating, the more reliable the issuer and, typically, the lower the yield on its bonds. - **AAA bonds** are the most reliable, issued by large systemically important companies, often with state participation. - **A- to AA+ bonds** are reliable securities, favored by pension funds and other institutional investors. - **BBB- to BBB+ bonds** are a transitional category, representing companies that may be sensitive to adverse market or economic events (e.g., an increase in the key interest rate). - **B- to BB+ bonds** are high-yield issuers (HY), with higher risks and yields, often issued by small or medium-sized businesses operating in risky sectors. - **CCC and D bonds** are on the brink of default, carrying the highest risks.
