RUB
  • The ruble has continued to steadily appreciate against the greenback, with the USDRUB MICEX exchange rate now below the 93.00 handle. The pair sits over 8.5% shy of the cycle high seen printed on Monday prior to the announcement of the emergency key rate meeting.
  • The move lower comes despite Vedomosti reporting that the Russian authorities decided against tightening capital controls for the time being after Putin’s meeting with financial and economic officials.

  • Elsewhere, Russia’s benchmark IMOEX index sits flat having dropped almost 2% yesterday.
