The rouble-based MOEX Russian index was flat at 2,246.2 points.<\/p>\n<p>There were few drivers of movement for either the Russian currency or stocks expected on Friday, Zarina Saidova, an analyst at the Moscow-based Finam brokerage said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrading volumes are very low due to the holiday season.
