Top Gainers and Losers: Russian ruble and Japanese yen
Top Gainers - global market
Over the past 7 days, the US dollar index has fallen. Investors found it insufficient to increase the Fed's rate from 0.25% to 0.5% at a meeting on March 16. Since the US inflation in February reached a maximum in 40 years and amounted to 7.9% y/y. The Russian ruble has strengthened thanks to Russia's counter-sanctions against Western countries. In particular, the Russian authorities introduced the mandatory sale of 80% of exporters' foreign exchange earnings, raised the rate to 20%, and also limited the circulation of cash currency in the country. The Canadian, New Zealand and Australian dollars strengthened against the backdrop of high world commodity prices. The Japanese yen weakened after Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda expressed doubt that inflation will reach the target level of 2% y/y despite the rise in oil and other commodity prices. Recall that the Japan Consumer Price Index for February will be published on the morning of March 18 and on the same day a meeting of the Bank of Japan will be held. According to forecasts, inflation will be 0.3% y/y. Investors believe that such low inflation will not allow Bank of Japan to raise the rate (-0.1%) for a long time to come.
