Rouble has declined in pairing with USD in the mid-week
With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section the Russian Rouble rate has declined in pairing with the USD due to the fall of the EUR/USD rate at Forex.
Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 30.77 roubles, which is 12 kopeks more than the level yesterday; the EUR started at the level of 40.95 roubles (-26 kopeks).
Dual currency basket value decreased by 3 kopeks today and amounted to 35.36 roubles.
Therefore, main pressure on the Rouble is caused by the decrease of the rate of the Euro at Forex. In addition oil prices have been declining for the second consecutive session, due to which the Rouble has no support from this side either.
Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will be in the channel of 30.60-30.95 roubles for the USD at the trading session on Wednesday.
