USD/RUB chart by TradingView
The US Dollar / Ruble is the most popular
pair to trade the Russian currency. There
is no official symbol for the Ruble. Russia
is the R of the four BRIC emerging
markets and the eighth largest economy
of the world. Russia is the world's leading
oil producer since 2011, and the Ruble is
therefore exposed to changes in global
energy prices. The Russian economy is
both a high growth one and exposed to
changes in the global financial markets,
which is why it was hard hit by the crisis
in 2008 and 2009.
