There's a growing crisis for the rouble and it's only likely to get worse. That's according to Russia expert, Nadia Kazakova, who explains what's going on and why.
Leveraged money managers started building up short positions in the rouble earlier this month ahead of a major debt repayment peak in September. Nadia says there'll be continuous pressure on the currency over the coming weeks. It's already lost some twenty percent in the past couple of months. Low commodity prices aren't helping and she considers where USDRUB could go from here.
