Russian Ruble Not Getting Hit by Rising Oil Prices

Recommended Posts

(edited)

Like Turkey's lira, the Russian Ruble was expected to take a hit from rising oil prices, but it's working out that way. Moscow has managed to triple the Ruble's correlation to crude.

Be sensitive....

Russia is a millenary nation,that has been in the same place for thousands of years...(MAGOG-See the Quran-Alexander the Macedonian )

On the other hand ,we have been here for ONLY 2-300 years.

Never underestimate history....it is repetitive...

Never underestimate what the Russians can do...

Napoleon and Hitler lost the war in the same place,and for the same reasons....

Rouble might have been at 50 rub per $ but russian  government prefers a stable exchange rate around 60-65. So they buy foreign currency and put them in reserves. Without this exchanging thanks to very large trade surplus and positive current account rouble should probably strenghen a little bit. I think its about  20% too weak because of sanctions in comparison with fundamental value just look on Big Mac index.
