Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - August 23, 2021. Nonresident Inflows Should Continue to Support OFZs This Week

Positive sentiment is prevailing this morning in global markets, while the dollar is weakening. The ruble is approaching 74. The upbeat mood in markets appears set to continue today. In focus will be preliminary PMIs for the US for August. The prints could come in below expectations given the spread of the Delta strain of Covid-19. This would allow markets to expect quite restrained rhetoric from the Fed at Jackson Hole at the end of this week. We also think that Russian exporters might sell large volumes of FX ahead of a R660 bln MET tax bill on Wednesday. We thus think the ruble may be set to recover to 73.7 today.
