Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - November 2, 2018

This morning, risk-on has prevailed once again, and the dollar has weakened further globally. Investors will eye the US labor report due at 15:30 Moscow time, which is expected to be rather strong and point to decent wage growth, which would keep the Fed on track for rate hikes once a quarter. If the report beats expectations, the dollar would likely recover. As for the trade war optimism, we think that it could prove short-lived, as Trump may have eased his rhetoric ahead of the US midterm elections on November 6 and might toughen it afterward. The ruble may weaken today, especially if the dollar rebounds, since investors in Russia may be cautious ahead of the long weekend (November 5 is a holiday in Russia) and the US elections.
