OREANDA-NEWS The Russian economy will continue to react sensitively to the factors that caused the Japanese stock market to collapse. This was stated by Alina Poptsova, stock market analyst at Alfa-Capital Management Company. She is quoted by Gazeta.Ru».

According to her, the Japanese market reacted to information about the health of the American economy, in particular, the deterioration of employment conditions and forecasts of a possible recession. Goldman Sachs estimated its probability at 25 percent. Before that, it was about 15 percent.

As Poptsova noted, these factors have a negative impact on the oil market. Brent and WTI brands fell by almost one percent.

At the same time, she believes that Russia will experience only a minor impact of the events that the Japanese stock market is currently experiencing. For the Russian Federation, the dynamics of domestic demand and monetary conditions are much more important. But the situation on foreign stock markets means much less for the Russian economy due to sanctions and isolation from international capital markets. And most importantly, the dynamics of oil prices is the most important for Russian assets, she concluded.

Earlier it was reported that stock indexes collapsed during trading on the stock exchanges of the Asia-Pacific region. Japan's TOPIX fell 10.6 percent. The Nikkei index is up 13.4 percent.

There is an opinion that what happened will not have a very strong impact on the global economy.
