Fundamentals
Today's Russian inflation data could increase market bets of an interest rate hike by the Russian central bank in August.
Against low-interest-rate yielding currencies like the U.S Dollar and Euro, we could see a stronger Ruble as long as the risk of U.S sanctions on Russia does not persist.
Key Points:
Russia’s inflation currently stands at...
With high inflation above the Russia Central Banks 4.00% inflation target.
Markets are currently pricing in two interest rate hikes from the central bank over the next 6 months.
This will make short-selling EUR/RUB and USD/RUB very attractive to yield-seeking investors.
In this video, I break down both trades in detail.
