USD increased slightly in pairing with Rouble
With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section, the Russian Rouble rate has slightly sagged in pairing with the USD because of the decline in the major currency pair EUR/USD which started yesterday.
Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 27.55 roubles, which is 2 kopek more than yesterday’s closing level; the EUR started movement at the level of 39.5 roubles, almost unchanged.
Dual currency basket value has not changed much, remaining at the level of 33.96 roubles.
Therefore, investors adopted a wait and see attitude today: it is still expected that decision on the U.S. public debt will be made today; data on the country’s GDP in Q2 is going to be released this afternoon.
Presumably, the pair will be in the channel of 27.48-27.60 Roubles for the USD at the trading session on Friday.
