Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - August 20, 2019

This morning, the ruble is recovering as the FX bid that drove it lower yesterday seems to be exhausted. In addition, exporters seem to have increased their FX offer ahead of next week's tax payments. Still, EM currencies have run into some pressure today, while the dollar is again mildly up against peers. Thus, given that high volatility remains, we would expect the ruble to trade in a rather wide range of 66.3-67.0, but believe that it has finally gained a foothold after its recent sharp fall and has potential for appreciation this Friday, as we expect top central bankers assembled at the Fed's Jackson Hole summit to be quite dovish.
