Russian stocks advanced on Wednesday, recovering from early losses in volatile trade, while the rouble was stable amid a flurry of Western diplomacy and investigations into a missile hit that killed two people in Poland on Tuesday. Russia’s stock markets were down as much as 1.3% in the first minutes of trading but had reversed losses to stand higher on the day by early afternoon in Moscow. By 1018 GMT, the dollar-denominated RTS index was up 0.4% at 1,163.9 points. The rouble-based MOEX Russian index was 0.3% stronger at 2,230.1 points.
