Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - May 8, 2019

As for the ruble today, exporters seem set to sell good volumes of FX again and foreigners might also be selling before today's OFZ auctions. Thus, we think the ruble will firm a bit, with USD/RUB even temporarily falling to 65. However, later in the day, we expect investors to be closing long positions in the ruble ahead of the holidays in Russia and also the US-China trade talks on Thursday-Friday. By the end of the day, we see USD/RUB climbing back to 65.6, especially if risk aversion intensifies again. Among global events, investors will be eyeing Draghi's speech at 14:30.
