March 22 (Reuters) - The Moscow Exchange will again open for trading in OFZ government bonds on Wednesday after the trade resumed on Monday, but the stock market will remain closed, Russia's central bank said.
Short selling of OFZ bonds will become available, Interfax news agency quoted the Moscow bourse as saying.
Russian stocks last traded on the Moscow Exchange on Feb. 25. The central bank then curbed trading as Western sanctions over events in Ukraine threw markets into turmoil.
The Moscow bourse said in a statement earlier on Tuesday that short selling of shares of 30 main companies in Russia would be forbidden starting from Tuesday, signalling that some form of stocks trading may resume at some point. (Reporting by Reuters Editing by Chris Reese and Leslie Adler)
