USD consolidated in pairing with Rouble on Thursday

Since the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section, the Russian Rouble rate has retreated in pairing with the USD amid negative dynamics of the EUR/USD at Forex. At the same time high oil prices refrain national currency from considerable sales.

Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 28.36 roubles, which is 4 kopeks more than yesterday’s closing level; the EUR started at the level of 39.94 (-11 kopeks).

Dual currency basket value decreased by 2 kopeks today and amounted to 33.59 roubles.

Therefore, maintenance of high prices for the “black gold” helps the Rouble stay close to the high levels despite slight rollback, caused by the sales of the Euro at Forex.

Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will be in the channel of 28.25-28.50 roubles for the USD at the trading session on Thursday.
