The recent exchange rate forecasts for USD to RUB reflect a complex interplay of geopolitical tensions, U.S. economic data, and commodity prices. As of now, the USD is strengthening, primarily driven by a risk-averse market sentiment. Analysts suggest that the anticipation surrounding the release of this month’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes indicates a more hawkish approach from the U.S. Federal Reserve regarding interest rate policies. This sentiment is coupled with increasing concerns about economic growth, particularly as the U.S. GDP figures are expected to show a contraction in Q1, which could potentially revive recession fears and exert downward pressure on the dollar.
