USD fell below the level of 29 Roubles in pairing with Russian currency

With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section, the Russian Rouble rate continues to consolidate in pairing with the USD still receiving support from the soaring oil prices and the rise in the rate of the Euro at Forex. The USD has dropped below the level of 29 roubles for the first time since spring last year.

Thus, trading session started for the USD at the level of 29.05 roubles, falling immediately to 28.96 roubles (-4 kopeks); the EUR started movement at the level of 40.05 roubles, (+8 kopeks).

Dual currency basket value remained close to the closing level of Thursday, at about 33.95 roubles.

Therefore, the list of activators for the domestic currency remains unchanged.

Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will be in the channel of 29.90-29.15 roubles for the USD at the trading session on Friday.
