Russia’s central bank plans to offload 150 bln rubles (USD 1.5 bln) of FX in the domestic market to relieve pressure on the depreciating ruble. That comes ahead of a USD 3 bln Eurobond repayment due September 16. From September 14 to 22, the bank will sell 21.4 bln rubles worth of foreign currency daily. Despite the announcement, the ruble was down 0.2% against the USD as of the latest update.
