RUSSIA
  • After a gradual decline from the July highs at 103.75, GBP/RUB has breached the 100 support line to the downside to make a new YTD low
  • Improving fundamentals on the RUB side, including strong oil markets, low geopolitical risks and high and increasing carry continue to bolster the Russian currency, while the pound has remained under pressure since July
  • Having made a consolidated break of the level, the next major support stands at 97.6942, followed by 96.00. Oscillator momentum remains bearish, but is fast approaching oversold levels on the RSI
