The domestic market moves along with other global platforms. Investors are selling shares against the background of news from China, where the imminent bankruptcy of one of the country’s largest developers, Evergrande, is expected. At 18:50 Moscow time, the Dow Jones index fell 1.6 percent to 34,030.63 points, the Nasdaq index – 2.26 percent to 14,704.7 points. In anticipation of Evergrande’s default, there was a “domino effect” – shares of another Chinese developer fell 87 percent in a day due to investors’ panic. Evergrande shares fell 10.24 percent to $2.28.
