Key Quotes
“As we expect the Fed’s first hike in December 2015, we see it as the big mover for USD/RUB volatility along with other emerging markets”.
“RUB still remains vulnerable to oil price fluctuations and the pressure is accumulating; however, in the short run, we see the Russian currency being driven more by sentiment towards EM assets than by marginal changes in the oil price”.
“We expect a short-run rise in RUB’s volatility. Yet, in the long run, we see support for Russia’s currency from diminishing FX debt redemptions from the corporate side in 2016”.
