Tuesday turned out to be a very
positive for the Russian ruble - to
evening of the dollar and the euro dropped significantly. Mainly to strengthen the ruble
help growing oil quotes and
Central Bank's actions. Yesterday evening a couple
USD / RUB fell
to the level of 62.36, and the pair EUR / RUB
- to 68.3. Traders said,
that the ruble
there is a good chance to strengthen, but not
We can understand what will be the main
driver.

The ruble is still strong
It depends on the movement of oil prices, and
Today, the price of Brent continues
It located in the neighborhood of $ 50 per barrel and whilst unlikely
come from an established range. Yesterday
quotes help message from Brazil,
