With the start of the trading session at the MICEX currency section the Russian Rouble rate continues to grow in pairing with the USD and has exceeded the level of 30 roubles, for the first time this year. Favourable situation in pair EUR/USD and quiet external background contribute to the purchase.
Thus, trading session for the USD started at the level of 29.99 roubles, which is 3 kopeks less than closing level on Thursday; the EUR started at the level of 41.1 roubles, (+20 kopeks).
Dual currency basket value increased by 7 kopeks today and amounted to 34.54 roubles.
Therefore, important resistance level for the pair Rouble/Dollar, which is 30 roubles/$1 has been tested and exceeded and now investors will try to consolidate below.
Presumably the pair Rouble/Dollar will not go beyond the channel of 29.80-30.20 roubles for the USD at the trading session on Friday.
