RTS index dips 0.12% to 1901.92 points at market open

MOSCOW. July 18 (Interfax) - Share-trading on the Russian Trading System began Tuesday with blue chips slightly down in a delayed reaction to Monday-evening market slippage, and the RTS index had lost 0.12% to 1901.92 points by the end of the first trading minute.

Prices for most benchmark shares had moved mixed within 0.7% by 10:01 a.m. Moscow time.

Observed stabilization on world markets could have a beneficial effect on the RTS subsequently, but complete improvement is still a ways off.
