The RUB is slowing down by the intense pressure on its backThe Russian ruble is slowing down by the intense pressure on its back, but the buck is not strong enough to save itself from bears. The trading pair’s prices are widely projected to remain bearish but will slightly slow down. Prices should still head down and reach its support level, reaches ranges last seen in early March. The Russian ruble is faced with both challenges and support that is causing a push and pull effect in prices. Traders are considering the strong performance of crude oil prices in the commodity market which is greatly fueled by demand hopes and vaccine hopes. Another factor to be considered is that there are two main pressure points that could cause a reversal once prices hit their support. The first one is the foreign policy issues and the second is widening investors’ suspicion. Powerhouses from the West are accusing Russia of trying to steal the developments made for the coronavirus vaccine, threatening sanctions on Moscow.
