STOCKS CALL (Contributions to moscow.newsroom@reuters.com):

VTB Capital: Expects flat to lower opening of Russian exchanges. Bullish sentiment is ubiquitous these days, but to us the recent rally in risky assets feels more and more of a stretch, so we are keeping our underweight recommendation for Russian stocks at this juncture.

Chris Weafer, UralSib: Local markets are likely to open more or less as they closed yesterday ... Overall, investors continue to be both reluctant to push prices much higher and equally reluctant to sell.

Aton: The MICEX exchange's next support level is 1,090 points. News could be mixed today: while Asian stocks are up, oil prices are lower and this will weigh on Russian energy stocks.
