Rubl klesa - Kurz měny ruský rubl

Russia devalued the ruble for the fifth time in a month, widening its trading band against the dollar and euro after depleting reserves in defense of the exchange rate. ...Russia has drained 27 percent of its reserves since the start of August to stymie a 16 percent decline in the ruble versus the dollar as tumbling oil prices, the war in Georgia and the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression caused investors and locals to remove about $211 billion from the country....The ruble dropped as much as 1.7 percent to 36.8572 per euro today, the weakest since Sept. 25. Those movements left the ruble at 31.8517 versus the basket which is made up of about 55 percent dollars and the rest euros, and is used to protect exporters from currency swings. The weakest end of the trading band is now about 31.90, from the previous 31.60, said Siegenthaler, who predicts a further 20 percent drop versus the basket should oil prices stay at current levels.
