### Russian Government Bond Index Dips Slightly on Wednesday The MCXRGBI index (Russian government bonds) fell by 0.1% on Wednesday, settling at 113.61 basis points. Here is the trading activity for the most liquid Federal Loan Bonds (OFZ): - OFZ series No. 26247: -0.3% - OFZ series No. 26248: -0.4% - OFZ series No. 26233: -0.1% - OFZ series No. 26243: -0.3% Liquid OFZ bonds typically include long-term fixed-coupon bonds (OFZ-PD), such as OFZ 26248 and OFZ 26245, which dominate trading volumes. Additionally, there are bonds with an indexed nominal value (OFZ-IN) and floating coupon bonds (OFZ-PK), each with distinct characteristics and suitable for different investment goals. The MCXRGBI index serves as a key indicator of the Russian debt market, reflecting the dynamics of the entire spectrum of government securities. Key features of liquid OFZ bonds: 1. **OFZ-PD (Fixed-Coupon Bonds)**: These are the most popular due to their predictable coupon payments, such as issues maturing between 2034 and 2041. 2. **OFZ-IN (Indexed-Nominal Bonds)**: These protect against inflation, but their returns are realized only at maturity or sale. 3. **OFZ-PK (Floating-Coupon Bonds)**: These have high liquidity, such as OFZ 29014, 29024, and 29016.
