USD slightly declined in pairing with Rouble on Wednesday

With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section the Russian Rouble rate remained mostly stable in pairing with the USD, showing insignificant growth due to support from high oil prices.

Thus, trading session started for the USD at the level of 29.27 roubles, which is 2 kopeks less than the level yesterday; the EUR started movement at the level of 39.7 roubles, (+8 kopeks). 

Dual currency basket value increased by 2 kopeks on Wednesday and amounted to 33.96 roubles.

Therefore, current market sentiment is directly related to the dynamics of oil prices – while Brent is still growing, WTI demonstrates descending trend. 

Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will be in the channel of 29.20-29.50 roubles for the USD at the trading session on Wednesday.
