Overall, i see Ruble to gain this year against the Dollar. Holding shorts, and will increase position when/if break of 64,400, 62,750, and 61,000 if we reach that far :) i will be looking at hedge opportunities.
Keep in mind that Russia is still a risky trade, with sanctions imposed from U.S. and Europe. So, the whole think could turn against me. But from the fundamental perspective, i see a bullish ruble.
TradingView does not provide data from RU10YT. But if you can find the data, then compare it with US10YT and you would see a that spreads are narrowing between those. This could indicate more demand for the Russian 10-year bond as the yield is decreasing.
