Russian rouble slips vs yuan after hitting highest level since Oct.2
MOSCOW, Oct 21 (Reuters) -The Russian rouble weakened slightly against the yuan on Monday after strengthening by 1.3% at the end of last week to the highest against the Chinese currency since Oct. 2.
By 0830 GMT, the rouble RUB= was down CNYRUB= 0.7% at 13.46 against the yuan, and up 0.7% at 96.05 against the U.S. dollar, according to data compiled by LSEG.
"The yuan-rouble pair on the Moscow Stock Exchange fell below 13.4 roubles to a two-week low, as trading activity increased," said PSB bank's analyst Evgeny Loktykhov.
He added that upcoming corporate tax payments, when exporting companies increase their currency sales, provided support for the rouble.
Western sanctions, imposed on the Moscow Stock Exchange (MOEX) and its clearing agent, the National Clearing Centre, on June 12, stopped all trade in dollars and euros at MOEX, making China's yuan the most-traded foreign currency in Russia.
Trade in dollars and euros has shifted to the over-the-counter (OTC) market, obscuring price data.
One-day rouble-dollar futures, which trade on the Moscow exchange and are a guide for OTC market rates, were up 0.3% at 95.88. The central bank's official exchange rate, which it calculates using OTC data, was set at 96.41 to the dollar.
The rouble weakened by 0.5% to 103.87 against the euro EURRUB=, after strengthening by almost 2% during the session on Oct. 18, LSEG data showed.
Brent crude oil LCOc1, a global benchmark for Russia's main export, was up 0.4% at $73.41 a barrel.
