GBP/RUB Maintains Bearish Bias Through August

RUSSIA
  • The cross has continued to trend lower since establishing its mid-July highs at 103.75, pulling back -2.85% to hold below the 200dma on the daily chart.
  • Oil prices have bounced back in the latter part of August, complimented by expectations for more policy tightening from the CBR in September – bolstering demand for RUB, despite choppy global risk conditions
  • Price action is now drifting below 101 towards August lows at 100.6942 with an eye on the June lows at 100 round number support.
  • A move through 100 would open up a more comprehensive move lower towards 99 & 98.2942 support below, dating back to December 2020
