Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

The Russian rouble continued its rebound, hovering above 97 against the dollar, while the stock market resumed trading after a month-long break. The bulk of equities advance was aided by Putin’s ban on short-selling and other support measures.

After the West levied unprecedented Western sanctions for what Russia terms “a special military operation” in Ukraine, the Russian currency plunged to a record low and the central bank ordered the suspension of most transactions, the markets are gradually reopening.

The rouble was up 1.84% to 97.0000 to the dollar as at 12.30 pm on Thursday, extending overnight gains fueled by President Vladimir Putin’s announcement that Russia will begin selling its gas to “unfriendly” countries in roubles.
