Russian Rouble rose to six–week highs in pairing with USD

With the start of the trading session at theMICEX currency section, the Russian Rouble rate rose tothe highs of one and a half months in pairing with the USD, amid overalloptimism in the market caused by the decision taken at the EU summit.

Thus, tradingsession for the USD started at the level of 30.25 roubles, which is 46 kopeksless than yesterday's closing level; the EUR started at the level of42.35 roubles (-6 kopeks). Dual currency basket value amounted to 35.7 roubles(-28 kopeks) today.

Therefore, the Rouble isgrowing again, due to support from external background and the fact thatEuro/Dollar is being actively bought out. Presumably, the pair Dollar/Roublewill be in the channel of 30.15-30.35 Rouble for USD at the trading session onThursday.
