USD/RUB Analysis November 29, 2023

Create at 11 months ago (Nov 29, 2023 23:33)

Russia continues to face labor shortages due to its conflict with Ukraine.

The Russian ruble has been consistently strengthening, hovering around 88-89 rubles per US dollar, driven by the weakening of the US dollar and increased interest rates in the past week. Additionally, recent economic indicators announced today signal a much-improved outlook for Russia's ability to grow its economy in the future. However, despite this progress, Russia's economy still requires ongoing government support to sustain growth at this stage.


As a major exporter of crude oil, Russia may encounter increased risks in its exports due to the strengthening ruble and decreased oil prices, which diminish profitability in exports. This situation also pressures Russia to find alternative oil export channels beyond the BRICS group, which currently dominates a significant portion of Russian oil exports.


Russia hit a multi-year low unemployment rate of 2.9% in October, aligning with market expectations. This record-low unemployment rate is a result of severe labor shortages due to the conflict in Ukraine, prompting significant mobilization and subsequent migration.


Industrial production saw a slight decline of 5.3% compared to the previous year in October, despite continuous growth since the beginning of the year. Government support, however, facilitated rapid expansion of production capacity, leading to increased output.


Government financial support for consumer spending has consistently boosted retail sales in Russia, rising by 12.7% compared to the previous year in October. This increased consumer spending, totaling 16,656.20 billion rubles, has expanded the purchase of goods and increased consumer confidence.


Russia's 10-year government bond yields remain around 12%. Despite this, the strengthened currency from foreign currency sales and continuous inflation rates have led the Central Bank of Russia to adopt a tighter monetary policy to combat rising inflation, potentially causing government bond yields to increase further.
