RUSSIA

FX/FI MARKETS (FX Open, Stocks Closed)

  • FX markets will open again today, while stock trading remains closed.
  • It seems Russia has narrowly avoided triggering the 30-day window period for a technical default by paying its $117m coupon, with JPM & Citi confirming they received the payment yesterday.
  • Nevertheless, risks remain high with $4.6bn in payments remaining for 2022, including a $2bn bond maturing on 4 April.
