USD strengthened in pairing with Rouble

With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section, the Russian Rouble declined in pairing with the USD because of two factors: it has lost support of the oil prices and due to sales of the Euro/Dollar at Forex.

Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 27.04 roubles, which is 10 kopeks more than  closing level on Friday; the EUR started movement at the level of 39.85 (-10 kopeks).

Value of the dual currency basket remained stable today and amounted to 33.36 roubles.Therefore, sales at the trading floors and negative sentiment of investors at the beginning of the week,   had a negative impact on the status of the Rouble.

Presumably, the pair will be in the channel of 28.01-28.15 Roubles for the USD at the trading session on Monday.
