Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - January 30, 2019

Today, investors await the FOMC press release (22:00 MSK) and press conference (22:30) following the monetary policy meeting. Given the dovish comments from Fed officials this year, we expect the Fed to reaffirm a "patient and flexible" stance with regard to further tightening, pointing out the risks of a slowdown in the global and US economies. Against this backdrop, we expect no hikes from the Fed until June at the earliest. However, the Fed could deliver a dovish surprise should it decide to slow the pace at which it is reducing the balance sheet from the current $50 bln a month. This year, Fed governors have hinted at just such a move, but this is clearly not fully priced in by the markets.
