Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - August 29, 2019

This morning, a representative from China's commerce ministry said that the US and China were staying in touch on trade and still discussing a visit of the Chinese delegation to Washington for talks in September. We believe that whether these talks will be hold will be crucial for risk sentiment in the near term, as calling them off would send a clear negative signal to markets. The statement from China this morning brought a halt to the risk-off trading, which had been gaining momentum since yesterday evening, allowing US equity futures to rally 0.5%. EM currencies are lagging a bit, but unless contradictory comments emerge the risk-on mood could prevail today. In this case, the ruble could recover to USD/RUB 66.3 following its overreaction to negative events earlier this week.
