Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - February 20, 2019

Most likely, the FOMC minutes due today at 22:00 Moscow time will shed more light on the Fed's plans regarding the balance sheet, as should Friday's roundtable discussion devoted to the issue. We expect the minutes to indicate a more dovish stance at the Fed, so risk assets may be able to resume their rally later today. The ruble will likely also be supported by the Finance Ministry's OFZ auction today, where we expect foreign demand to be strong. Still, investors will be listening for possible remarks on geopolitics from Russian President Vladimir Putin during his annual state-of-the-nation address to the Federal Assembly, which starts at 12:00 Moscow time.
