Rouble continues to weaken in pairing with USD

With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section, the Russian Rouble rate continues to weaken in pairing with the USD, since supportive factors are receding every day. Oil prices are decreasing today, Euro-Dollar is still on sale at Forex.

Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 31.24 roubles, which is 20 kopeks more than yesterday’s closing level; the EUR started at the level of 42.03 roubles (+4 kopeks).

Dual currency basket value amounted to 36.11 roubles (+13 kopeks) today.

Therefore, negative external background continues to put pressure on the Rouble.

Presumably, the pair Dollar/Rouble will be in the channel of 30.05-31.12 Roubles for USD at the trading session today.
