With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section the Russian Rouble rate continues to gain strength amid recovery of the pair EUR/USD yesterday and the rise in oil prices.
Thus, trading session started for the USD at the level of 29.21 roubles, which is 9 kopeks less than the level yesterday; the EUR started movement at the level of 39.6 roubles, (+10 kopeks).
Dual currency basket value has not changed today and remained at the level of 33.89 roubles.
Therefore, such a strong position of the Russian currency is explained by overall stability of the external background and increasing trend in the oil sector.
Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will be in the channel of 29.15-29.40 roubles for the USD at the trading session on Thursday.
