RF rating finally cut to junk by S&P, hardly a surprise, but still an important event. We'll probably see some volatility with the ruble following this, especially in light of recently renewed fighting for the control over several areas and ...

Personally, I think that is way too optimistic. I don't have a crystal ball, but provided the sanctions are removed and oil prices stabilize, I would be surprised if the ruble recovers below $40 (provided oil doesn't go up to $100, which I don't ...

USD RUB pulling to 56 now. Sold 20% but keeping most of it in. Following the Europeans', my impression is unless Kiev decides to commit "harakiri" and go on the offensive in East Ukraine, an increasingly unlikely scenario in my opinion, sanctions ...
