Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - January 28, 2019

Last night, OFAC announced that the sanctions on Rusal and En+ Group would be canceled. As a result the ruble gained 0.5% in premarket trading, but its gains have since been pared on the 1.2% decline in the oil price and slight weakness in EMs this morning. We think that the ruble still has some potential to appreciate this week, as exporters may still need to sell significant volumes of hard currency in order to make profit tax payments today and finance their operational costs. Moreover, the risks related to Venezuela seem to have eased, as it was reported that President Nicolas Maduro had extended the deadline for US diplomats to leave the country.
