Rouble fell sharply against USD on Tuesday

With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section the Russian Rouble fell sharply in pairing with the USD and dual currency basket amid negative dynamics of the pair EUR/USD at Forex and mass investors' aversion to risks. The decline in oil prices also impacted on the Rouble'
exchange rate Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 31.33 roubles, which is 25 kopeks more than the level yesterday; the EUR started movement at the level of 42.35 roubles (-20 kopeks).

Dual currency basket value increased by 8 kopeks on Tuesday and amounted to 36.26 roubles. Thus, pessimistic sentiments at the global capital market affected the rate of the Rouble too. Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will not go beyond the range of 31.00-31.45 roubles for the USD at the trading session today.
