Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - December 6, 2018

The ruble is down 0.2%. The outcome of the OPEC meeting will obviously be key for the local currency. If the cartel announces a production cut of at least 1.3 mln bpd, which should be enough to balance the market next year, both oil and the ruble will find support. If this doesn't happen (a scenario we cannot rule out given the pressure on the Saudis in the wake of Khashoggi's murder), oil may tumble back below $60/bbl, exerting pressure on the ruble. Meanwhile concerns over the US-China trade talks and Brexit continue to mount. Today's ADP employment report from the US could provide hints on what to expect from the big jobs report due tomorrow, which will be especially important given the recent softening in the Fed's rhetoric.
