"At the moment it's rather difficult to make any forecasts about how the situation may develop. Much depends on how the US Congress votes today on the aid plan to the American financial market, because the situation in the USA influences a lot of other countries' economies, including the moods of Russian investors."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Vijay Waichal, portfolio manager:
"India's stock market saw another bad day where the market tumbled very heavily, coming down 4 percent at the end of the day. Some of the reasons which were responsible for bringing down the markets, in this fashion is basically opening of Asian markets in negative note, secondly European market was also having a mixed reaction, probably the bailout of 700 billion dollars which have been announced, but there is apprehension in the minds of the investors, that how much sufficient the money is going to be, and whether it will help to tide over the crisis which are so grave."

STORYLINE
Russian regulators shut down one of the country's two leading stock exchanges three times on Friday to stem rapid declines in shares after investors took fright at growing concerns over the global economy.
After shares plunged in early morning trading, the federal regulator ordered the suspension of trading on the RTS, the country's benchmark index.
The regulators have used similar moves to stem rapid share declines in recent weeks - usually to positive effect.
By the close of trading, the RTS had shed 7 percent to 1070.9 points.
It was closed down twice in the afternoon and then shut early for the weekend.
The Moscow Interbank Currency Exchange (MICEX) - where most of Russia's trading takes place - plunged by 5.3 percent to 924.6 points, paring back steeper losses mid-afternoon.
Also on Friday, India's stock market plunged sharply amid worries about the US economy and tracking declines on Wall Street and across Asia.
India's benchmark Sensex index slumped 529 points, or 4 percent, to a final close of 12,526 points.
The broader 50-share Nifty of the National Stock Exchange fell by 3.3 percent to 3,818 points.
Analysts say the weakness was likely to continue.
Portfolio manager Vijay Waichal said investors were apprehensive because they didn't know if the proposed 700 billion US dollar rescue package, which later was approved by the US Congress, would help stem the global financial crisis.
ICICI Bank plummeted 8.5 percent to 505 rupees, software company Infosys Technologies Limited dropped 4.3 percent to 1,391 rupees and telecommunication firm Bharti Airtel Limited lost 4.3 percent to 757 rupees.
