Price reading 62.30 right now... can easily get back under 60 from this news. Later in the week, if the FOMC doesn't changes it's wording hinting about earlier interest rate hikes than expected, if oil rebounds, and if any positive developments from ...

Russia raises key rate to 17%, effective Tuesday!!!

USD/RUB

Today's move is absolutely extraordinary. A potential blow-off top? There are supposed to be some talks about sanctions later on Tuesday that may provide some relief. Russia also need to consider raising rates like Turkey did earlier this year in an ...

This is some very interesting insight, thank you for sharing.

url I don't know about you guys, but I'm waiting for a quick drop under 50. We almost got there from 53.90 on Monday with the Russian central bank only spending 700 million to intervene; imagine if they just blast it with billions in a single day, ...

USD/RUB

15% drop last week and today is the biggest single day drop since 1998; this thing's getting decimated! Added small positions at 51.70, 52.30 and 53.10. Closed the 52.30 and 53.10 positions at 51.80; will slowly reload at new highs in 54, 55 if need ...

Did you want to get long this pair? Would've obviously been great to. Now's a perfect time to start adding shorts though. I got completely out earlier on the dip and started adding again last couple days, average price now 47.35. Not the best price, ...

What makes you say this? I'm still getting 20:1 leverage on USD/RUB. The spread is ridiculous though during certain times, but it's been like that, nothing has changed on that end.

Also, lets not forget the ace up the Ruble's sleeve, "On Tuesday the head of the Central Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina confirmed the regulator was ready to intervene unexpectedly and on a large-scale, in case risks to financial stability arise." ...

I don't necessarily think oil prices have to cooperate that much, sure it'd help long-term, but I can still foresee a much larger correction in RUB than oil near-term. Oil prices haven't affected USD/CAD nearly as much for example, I think lifted ...

USD/RUB

Awesome, I hope you get your entry, there'd be nothing worse then having waited this long only to have the big move happen and not be in the trade. Could get a good move to the downside, although, I wish Putin wouldn't have left the G-20 summit ...

Are you looking to get back in this pair, perhaps 48-50 entries? Or are the margin requirements just no longer worth it to you?

USD/RUB

That's really annoying, sorry to hear that as I know you were in this trade for the long-haul. Have you emailed them and asked why they changed the margin on it? Was that the only pair affected?

USD/RUB

Who are you with if you don't mind me asking? 125.00 for the pair? What do you mean exactly? I get 20:1 margin on exotics like RUB.

Very good analysis there. USD/RUB looking good so far in early trade. Head of the Russian central bank was on air over the weekend trying to quell Ruble weakness fears. It's very possible we may have seen the worst.

USD/RUB

Long long term the Ruble looks absolutely horrible. Interesting to see this chart. With that said, I still think we're going to be ranging 40-50 for a while; plenty of opportunities to trade in and out. url

USD/RUB

The 40 level certainly seems reasonable, as this is where they wanted it capped before. Once you've closed out your position are you finished with this pair as it's been frustratingly long to get the move? I think I'm going to continue trading in ...

Hey Greenstar, Glad you're able to pull some quick profits going long USD/RUB, it's certainly working quick right now, which is good since you don't have to hold very long and eat the rollover. As crazy as GBP/JPY has been lately, I agree, this pair ...

USD/RUB

We have a beautiful spinning top on the daily chart, we'll see what happens early next week. There are rumors that the Russian central bank might even announce something over weekend; could be a possible gap. Happy to collect some yield this weekend ...

USD/RUB

High volatility (2 way) is always a good thing, this is when things usually turn after getting decimated. The market's on edge with just the threat of intervention. The Russian central bank stated it was prepared to increase forex interventions "at ...
