Yukos share trading suspended on MICEX
MOSCOW. June 17 (Interfax) - Yukos share trading was suspended on the MICEX for one hour at 5:10 p.m., Moscow time,
due to a surge in prices.
As of 5:10 p.m., the shares were up 11.9%, over the 10% limit set by the Federal Securities Commission. The last
price hit 240.5 rubles. The MICEX trading session runs from 10:30 a.m. to 6:45 p.m.
Yukos share trading was suspended on the RTS for the same reason a little earlier.
The shares surged after President Vladimir Putin said the government did not want Yukos to go bankrupt. [RU ASIA
