Rouble gave way to USD on Friday

With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section, the Russian Rouble rate declined in pairing with the USD and the Euro, amid pessimistic sentiment at the global capital markets.

Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 29.01 roubles, which is 7 kopeks more than yesterday’s closing level; the EUR started movement at the level of 41.4 roubles (+13 kopeks).

Dual currency basket value amounted to 34.6 roubles today (+8 kopeks)

Therefore, deterioration in the external environment has a negative impact on the dynamics of the Rouble.

Presumably, the pair Dollar/Rouble will be in the channel of 28.90-29.10 Roubles for the USD at the trading session on Friday.
