Russian equity markets opened lower on Tuesday, with the MOEX Index falling 0.54% and the RTS Index dropping 0.53% by 10:15 a.m.
The declines mark a continuation of the downward trend that has characterized the start of the week for Russian equities.
The sell-off was accompanied by weakness in the Chinese yuan, which also declined in early trading.
The synchronized drop in regional assets suggests broad-based risk aversion among investors, rather than isolated pressure on specific Russian sectors.
This session follows a pattern of modest losses seen earlier in the week.
On Monday, the MOEX and RTS indices both posted small declines in the early stages of trading.
