The ruble on Thursday showed mostly positive direction. Ruble liquidity decreased slightly after the introduction of the restrictions of the Central Bank providing it. Activation of the tax period in Russia strengthened in this regard, the demand for rubles.

a positive background for the Russian currency creates and correctional growth of prices for oil products in the territory of 79 dollars per barrel for Brent.

However, speculators have no incentive to actively play on the reduction of the ruble because of the clearly expressed the readiness of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation to hold hard currency intervention to maintain financial stability.
