With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section the Russian Rouble rate continues to consolidate in pairing with the USD amid positive rise of the pair EUR/USD at Forex. Growing oil prices also provide support to the Rouble.
Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 30.5 roubles, which is 10 kopeks less than the level on Wednesday; the EUR started movement at the level of 40.18 roubles (-10 kopeks).
Dual currency basket value reduced by 7 kopeks this morning and amounted to 34.9 roubles.
Therefore, favourable situation in the oil sector is so far the major factor of growth for the domestic currency.
Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will be the range of 30.40-30.65 roubles for the USD at the trading session on Thursday.
