With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section the Russian Rouble rate retreated in pairing with the USD due to yesterday’s slump of EUR/USD at Forex. Oil prices go down slightly today which is additional factor that makes the Rouble weaker.
Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 30.73 roubles, which is 12 kopeks more than the level yesterday; the EUR started movement at the level of 40.6 roubles (-8 kopeks).
Dual currency basket value decreased by 8 kopeks today and amounted to 35.2 roubles.
Therefore, weakening of the Unified European currency’s position has affected the dynamics of the domestic Rouble.
Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will be in the channel of 30.65-30.85 roubles for the USD at the trading session on Thursday.
