CBR Statement Slightly Dovish, Focus on Presser

RUSSIA

CBR:

  • Overall, slightly more dovish statement than expected, but focus will shift to Nabiullina's presser for tone and signs of concern over the longevity of price pressures
  • The statement itself seemed more confident about the transitory effects of the supply-induced inflation spike, but noted that disinflationary risks no longer prevail over the 2021 forecast period
  • USD/RUB initially pushed lower, but reversed as more dovish statements regarding accommodative policy emerged
  • Spot now headed towards 74.50 resistance, supported by a slight bid in the USD
