Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - October 28, 2021. Ruble Under Pressure Amid Elevated Demand for FX, Negative External Backdrop

The ruble has weakened slightly this morning, along with the oil price. We expect the local currency to remain under pressure today, as negative factors remain in the ascendancy. We think it could reach 71. In addition, euro weakening could act against the ruble, as the ECB is unlikely to join the general move toward significant monetary policy tightening among DM central banks. We think the ECB is likely to stick to the opinion that inflation is temporary, meaning no rate hikes are on the horizon, and we expect it to confirm its intention to expand its regular asset purchase program instead of its emergency program, which ends in March.
