俄罗斯卢布兑美元汇率从1月1日的115卢布兑美元大幅反弹至100卢布兑美元，这是有史以来的最低水平，不包括俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后的抛售。反弹是由于财政部在其通常的预算平衡计划中推迟了外汇购买，这表明莫斯科对卢布的疲软采取了行动。此外，交易商指出，特朗普在美国担任总统可能会增加最终在乌克兰停留的可能性，这一希望得到了支持。尽管如此，该货币仍远低于战后平均水平。西方国家制裁莫斯科交易所后，卢布停止了对主要货币对的国内交易，这加大了公司获得硬通货的难度，并迫使俄罗斯银行自6月以来设定外汇价格。这增加了之前因能源制裁而停止外汇流入的制裁，最后是对油轮运营商的制裁。

The Russian ruble strengthened past 100 per USD, holding the sharp rebound from 115 per USD on January 1st, which was the lowest on record when excluding the selloff in the immediate aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The rebound was due to the Finance Ministry deferring purchases of foreign exchange in its usual budget balance scheme, indicating that Moscow took action against the ruble’s weakness. Additionally, dealers noted support from hopes that a Trump Presidency in the US could raise the possibility of an eventual stop in the was in Ukraine. Still, the currency remained much weaker than its post-war average. The ruble was halted from domestic trading against major pairs after Western nations sanctioned the Moscow Exchange, magnifying the difficulty for companies to secure hard currency and forcing the Bank of Russia to set forex prices since June. This added to previous sanctions that halted forex inflows due to sanctions on energy, lastly on oil tanker operators.
