Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - October 24, 2018

The market is in risk-off mood again this morning. The euro is down 0.4% following a relatively weak PMI reading in Germany. Moreover, Italian fiscal problems are still weighing on it. Yesterday, the European Commission rejected Italy's draft budget for 2019. The Italian authorities now have three weeks to amend it, and if they don't they could face sanctions from the commission. This means the euro will likely remain pressured in the next few weeks. The dollar could strengthen further today should the US PMI turn out strong. The ruble has eased 0.2% this morning but we expect it to erase this loss later, as we still anticipate exporters selling decent volumes of hard currency ahead of dividend and tax payments. Tomorrow, R630 bln in MET is due, while on Friday Tatneft is scheduled to pay R70 bln in interim dividends.
