RUSSIA
- USD/RUB trades +0.14% higher this morning in line with a firmer BBDXY.
- The cross took a notable step lower in yesterday's session, falling -0.98% to take out the key level forming at 72.50 as RUB gains more bullish traction.
- The move was facilitated by robust gains in the oil complex with storms in the Gulf affecting output levels and both EIA & API inventories showing much larger than expected draws.
- Focus now turns to the $76.74 Fibonacci extension point for more bullish impetus.
- On the domestic front, Russia is set to press ahead with Duma elections tomorrow with United Russia expected to maintain its supermajority in somewhat of a non-event.
- Russia has hit back at the EP's threats of non-recognition, but geopolitical risks remain low at this juncture with the period after the vote becoming more important to monitor.
- US retail sales data will be the key USD-side driver today.
- USD/RUB continues to trade heavily with a large bearish engulfing candle reflecting renewed downside momentum in the cross towards the June lows at 71.55.
- Intraday Sup1: 72.2462, Sup2: 72.0413, Res1: 72.6637, Res2: 72.8201
