USD was able to strengthen in pairing with Rouble

With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section, the USD was able to strengthen slightly in pairing with the Russian Rouble, the major pair EUR/USD seems to be on sale again, and external background remains tense. 

Thus, trading session for the USD started  at the level of 28.46 roubles, which is 14 kopeks more than yesterday’s closing session level; the EUR started at the level of 39.95 (-4 kopeks).

Dual currency basket value increased by 5 kopeks today, and is at the level of 33.64 roubles now.

Therefore, interest in the USD is increasing due to the rising tide of deterioration in sentiments at the global capital markets and which is adverse to the Rouble.

Presumably, the pair Rouble/Dollar will be in the channel of 28.40-28.65 Roubles for the USD at the trading session on Wednesday.
