Key quotes
“As oil markets continue to rebalance there is a good chance that USD/RUB will remain under downward pressure for now. Such price action would be consistent with a further decline in implied USD/RUB volatility.”
“We think that a drop in USD/RUB to 70-71 (a level that was last recorded in the middle of March) would require another jump in oil prices – of the order of $5/bbl.”
