Rosneft says mulls foray into U.S. stock market


    ST PETERSBURG, Russia (Reuters) - Russia's top crude producer Rosneft is looking into a possibility of entering the U.S. stock market, the company's influential Chief Executive Officer Igor Sechin said on Wednesday.

    "We are studying a possibility and viability of entering the American (stock) market," Sechin told a shareholder who asked him about company's plans to increase its exposure to foreign stock markets.

    Sechin was speaking at an annual general meeting of Rosneft , which is already listed on the London Stock Exchange after a 2006 placement.
