The ruble just surpassed hryvnia (Ukraine) as the worst-performing currency this year

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The ruble has fallen to absurd new lows against the U.S. Dollar Monday, snatching the title of ‘2014’s worst-performing currency pair’ from the Ukrainian national currency the hryvnia.

The U.S. Dollar has gained 13% against the ruble USDRUB, +12.68% Monday, bringing its year-to-date gain to 95.20% — higher than the 92.60% it has gained against the hryvnia, the national currency of the Ukraine, in 2014.

The hryvnia has taken a beating as parts of Eastern Ukraine have abandoned the currency in favor of the Russian ruble, and investors worried about the country’s inability to pay off its debt to Russia.

In March, Crimean Deputy Prime Minister Rustam Temirgaliev told a Russian news organization that the region will abandon the hryvnia and switch to the ruble, according to Zero Hedge.

They may be regretting that decision right about now.

The Ukrainian central bank stopped supporting the hryvnia in November as it tumbled to record lows as the insurgency in the East worsened.

As for the ruble, last week, the Central Bank of Russia hiked its benchmark interest rate by 100 basis points, from 9.5% to 10.5%, in an effort to draw investors to the ruble. The move had little effect.

Now Analysts at Capital Economics say Russia could implement low-level capital controls to compel exporters to switch their foreign-currency denominated earnings to rubles, and to limit the outflow of private capital.

“Taken together, it’s argued these measures will bring two benefits. First, they should reduce demand for foreign currency and thus help to stabilise the ruble,” the analysts wrote Monday in a research note.

“Second, they should help to stem the bleeding of foreign exchange reserves – which have fallen by $95bn this year – and allow the authorities to preserve a financial buffer in the event that economic sanctions on Russia remain in place for a prolonged period,” the Capital Economics analysts added.

Rusland verhoogt rente naar 17,5 procent

De Russische centrale bank heeft in de nacht van maandag op dinsdag de rente flink omhoog gegooid. Het tarief is gestegen van 10,5 procent naar 17 procent.

De maatregel werd aangekondigd nadat de Russische roebel maandag nog verder onder druk kwam te staan.

De waarde van de munt daalde met 10 procent. Dat is de grootste daling sinds 1998. 's Middags waren voor het eerst meer dan 59 roebels nodig om 1 dollar te kopen. De bank probeert nu "inflatierisico's" te voorkomen door de rente te verhogen.

De roebel staat zwaar onder druk door de grote onzekerheid over de Russische economie en de stevige daling van de olieprijs.

Die krabbelde maandag wel iets op, maar staat door de afname van ruim 40 procent in de afgelopen maanden nog altijd op het laagste punt in jaren.

Russia is in the grip of full-blown currency crisis after a panic scramble for dollars sent the rouble crashing 13pc, with contagion spreading to Brazil, Indonesia and across the emerging market nexus.

Russia is in the grip of full-blown currency crisis after a panic scramble for dollars sent the rouble crashing 13pc, with contagion spreading to Brazil, Indonesia and across the emerging market nexus.

The rouble smashed through resistance to an all-time low of 65.5 to the dollar in a crescendo of selling on Monday, as oil prices continued to slide and markets braced for a likely default in Ukraine. The Russian currency has lost half its value since President Vladimir Putin first sent forces into Ukraine, setting off a chain of events that the Kremlin can no longer control.

“This is being driven by pure fear. We have crossed a line and the crisis is now self-feeding,” said Chris Weafer, from Macro Advisory in Moscow. “The central bank must intervene immediately with a great deal of money to overwhelm the sense of panic.”

The central bank said capital flight will reach $130bn this year. In a drastic change in outlook, it warned that the economy may contract by 4.7pc in 2015 if oil settles near $60 a barrel. Morgan Stanley said the economy will shrink at a rate of 6pc if crude drops to $50.

The sell-off is spreading far beyond Russia and risks turning into a broader market emerging rout, made worse by fears of a dollar surge as the US Federal Reserve prepares for the first rate rise in seven years. The MSCI index of emerging market stocks has dropped to a 10-month low, led by a 2.4pc slide in the Brazilian Bovespa. Dubai’s DFM index crashed over the weekend and is now down 26pc in nine days.

‘Dating that will never end in marriage’ – Medvedev describes Ukraine’s chances in EU

The program imposed by the EU on Ukraine to diminish its alleged economic dependence on Russia is pushing this unstable country into a full scale crisis, Russian Prime Minister Medvedev writes in a newspaper article.

The PM emphasized that the planned economic cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union looks very much like neo-colonialism. “The EU needs Ukraine primarily as a source of raw materials and definitely as a new market for European companies,” he wrote. According to some estimations, the Ukrainian economy will lose about $33 billion annually as a result of these policies, Mr Medvedev added.

The association agreement with the EU, which the current Kiev regime sees as an ultimate goal and key to prosperity, has definite priority over Ukrainian laws and national interests, Medvedev noted. Currently, no one in Europe wants to lend money to Ukraine. “No one is burning with desire to give money to Kiev even for most urgent needs. In a very desperate situation, Europe would allocate some money to repay the debts on the verge of default. The European economy is itself getting out of crisis with great difficulty,” reads Medvedev’s article.

The US “$1 billion guarantees” also turned out to be empty words, and so far there is no financial help coming to Ukraine from America, it adds.

“No one is hurrying to invite Ukraine to the common European table as an equal partner. They aren’t even offering a side chair; they are deliberately putting this country in a position of a girl who goes on dates that never end in marriage. It is sufficient to have a look at Turkey – this country signed the association agreement 51 years ago and it’s still not a European Union member,” the Russian PM says.

Medvedev also recalled a joke by one of his predecessors, Viktor Chernomyrdin, who was once asked when in his opinion Ukraine could become a EU member. “Right after Turkey,” Chernomyrdin answered quickly. “When should we expect Turkey’s membership,” pressed the reporter. “Never!” quipped Chernomyrdin.

The Russian prime minister covered the whole history of relations between Russia and Ukraine from the late 19th century through to the Soviet period and recent times. In the text published by the mass circulation daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta on Monday, he also concentrated on the future relations between nations that, in Medvedev’s words “don’t have and never will have real borders between them.”
