Positions of Rouble and USD are stable in the morning

With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section the Russian Rouble rate in pairing with the USD has remained stable, going down slightly due to a minor correction for the pair EUR/USD which took place yesterday.

Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 29.99 roubles, which is 2 kopeks less than the level yesterday; the EUR started movement at the level of 40.5 roubles, (+15 kopeks).

Dual currency basket value increased by 7 kopeks today, and amounted to 34.72 roubles.

Oil prices have resumed the growth this morning and will provide support to the Rouble.

Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will not go beyond the channel of 29.90-30.30 roubles for the USD at the trading session today.
