GBP/RUB Flirts with its 200dma

RUSSIA
  • The cross stalled out somewhat in yesterday's session after briefly testing the 200dma at 102.3657 before closing marginally below the 50dma at 102.80, around which, it has fluctuated throughout today's session.
  • Instability in oil prices surrounding uncertainty over the OPEC+ outlook has kept RUB on the back foot since late July.
  • However, with Key meetings with the US on Cybersecurity and a hawkish CBR meeting in the pipeline, we may see more downside pressure come back into the cross once price action moves back below the 200dma.
  • Oscillator momentum has turned lower in recent sessions, but remains marginally above bearish territory at 55, having fallen short of overbought territory.
  • Meanwhile the MACD histogram has turned with the moving averages approaching a bearish crossover
