Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - May 16, 2019

It seems that for now the ruble rally, which was mainly caused by Gazprom announcing higher dividends and high demand at OFZ auctions, is exhausted. Meanwhile, an overnight move by the US to curb the access of Chinese telecom companies (Huawei and ZTE) to the American market has boosted trade war concerns. Against this backdrop, we think that due to continuing weak economic data globally and simmering US-China tensions, a selloff in riskier assets may be on the horizon, although of course the exact timing is uncertain. For example, some pressure could come today if US housing starts for April disappoint.
