Forecast of changes in Russian and Ukrainian currency markets

摘要

The pressure exerted on rouble by the global scarcity of oil storage is partly offset by the non-economic import restrictions and currency sales by the Central Bank of Russia. Meanwhile, even the entry of the OPEC+ deal into force in May will not be enough to reverse the trend. A gradual growth will be possible only after the largest oil consuming countries begin to curtail the measures restraining economic activity, which will probably happen after mid-May.
