Key Quotes
“We believe the CBR will cut the Key Rate by 50bps to 8.50%, in line with the consensus, but will maintain a moderately dovish bias, which may surprise some in the market. This view represents a more dovish expectation than we previously held, as we increase the total amount of easing we now expect in the remainder of 2017 to 75bps from a prior 50bps. Also today or on Monday August IP will be released. Growth is expected to edge up to 1.5% Y/Y from a prior 1.1%.”
