Rouble declined in pairing with USD and EUR

With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section, the Russian Rouble rate declined in pairing with the USD in response to deterioration in investor sentiments at the global capital markets, the decrease of EUR/USD at Forex and the fall in oil prices.

Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 30.72 roubles, which is 30 kopeks more than yesterday’s closing level; the EUR started at the level of 42.2 roubles (+4 kopeks).

Dual currency basket value amounted to 35.9 roubles (+15 kopeks) today.

Therefore, new surge of uncertainty has a negative impact on the positions of the National currency.

Presumably, the pair Dollar/Rouble will be in the channel of 30.65-30.90 Rouble for USD at the trading session on Thursday.
