Russia FX/Rates Snapshot - September 4, 2019

The ruble has gained 0.5% this morning. We think this reaction to the developments in Hong Kong is probably excessive, as the prospects for the global economy remain gloomy. Moreover, volatility remains elevated on the global and Russian FX markets, signaling a widespread risk-off environment. Nevertheless, sentiment could receive a further boost tonight as we expect Fed speakers to deliver fairly dovish comments and perhaps flag a 50 bps cut in September in light of yesterday's weak manufacturing data and likely poor jobs data scheduled for release tomorrow and on Friday. The latest comments from James Bullard support this view, though some Fed governors such as Eric Rosengren are completely against cuts; however, the hawks in the FOMC are currently are in the minority.
