Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - August 16, 2019

This morning, risk sentiment is slightly upbeat and EM currencies and oil are strengthening mildly. The ruble has tried to appreciate but has returned to trading around 66, while FX turnover has dropped significantly. This stabilization could prove short lived, as risk assets could come under pressure today given that investors may prove unwilling to hold on to risk assets over the weekend. USD/RUB could head to 66.3-66.6, and we would recommend buying on dips. As for global data, today will see the publication of US housing starts for July, which is likely to be rather upbeat given the ongoing decline in mortgage rates. This would likely cause the greenback to strengthen mildly.
