Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - October 30, 2019

This morning, the ruble is mildly appreciating, thus catching up with peers. However, we expect it to depreciate later in the day and break above 64. First, important US data - the ADP employment change for October and first estimate of 3Q19 GDP growth - will be published midday. Both are likely to be downbeat, the ADP figure due to the recent GM strike and GDP due to the overall downbeat data in recent months. So, bad data could spur risk aversion, which later in the evening could intensify due to the Fed, which we expect to cut rates by 25 bps but disappoint markets by not signaling that further cuts are imminent. Moreover, there is a risk, albeit low, that the phrase that it will "act as appropriate to sustain expansion" could be changed, which could frighten markets even more.
