The ruble has lost more than 40 percent of its value against the dollar since the beginning of the year, with losses accelerating sharply after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, which sparked sweeping sanctions from the West, isolating the country. from international financial markets.
“It has become very difficult to trade the ruble after the sanctions,” said Aaron Hurd, a senior executive at State Street Global Advisors. “Liquidity has disappeared and markets have become very volatile.”
