In general, the situation is quite negative.
The current output of the Central Bank in the market to support the ruble is unrealistic scenario. This is possible if there is increased volatility of the ruble will go above 65 rubles to the dollar sharp pace, then may begin some conversations and verbal intervention. Wait for the Central Bank to sell the currency is not worth it. The only thing he can do – is to stop buying to replenish international reserves for some time ».
