Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - February 21, 2019

Overnight, risk sentiment further improved after it was reported that the US and China had started to outline commitments in principle on the stickiest issues in their trade dispute. Against this backdrop, EM currencies are up this morning. The ruble is among the top EM performers with a gain of more than 0.2%, most likely thanks to tax-related FX selling ahead of the deadline for R0.5 trln in MET payments on Monday. Still, geopolitical risks seem to be mounting, as CNN has reported that US Attorney General Bill Barr was preparing to announce as early as next week the completion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and planned to submit to Congress a summary of Mueller's confidential report soon afterward.
