Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - December 14, 2018

The CBR will make its rate decision today. We expect the bank to announce the resumption of regular FX purchases starting from January 15 and an intention to make up the foregone purchases, presumably in February. We also expect the bank will keep the rate unchanged. We think the decision has already been mostly priced in in ruble quotes, although trading will be muted ahead of the announcement, and the ruble could ease in line with overall EM weakness. After the decision, we expect exporters to meet to any increased demand for hard currency, and the ruble could firm to 66.20 or below.
