### Russian Ruble Sheds 0.2% on Interbank Market Wednesday On the interbank market Wednesday, the Russian ruble is trading lower against major currencies, with losses within 0.2%. The ruble-to-Chinese yuan (CNY/RUB) exchange rate is currently at 10.60 rubles per yuan. The USD/RUB pair is trading at 72.20 rubles per U.S. dollar, while EUR/RUB is at 82.77 rubles per euro. It is worth noting that the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) will set official exchange rates for foreign currencies against the ruble based on combined data from both exchange and over-the-counter segments of the foreign exchange market starting December 27, 2024. This change, outlined in CBR Regulation No. 6956-U, aims to enhance the representativeness of official rates amid the growing volume of over-the-counter transactions. Additionally, the document allows for the calculation of exchange rates using cross-rates if trading data for specific currency pairs becomes unavailable. Since June 8, 2026, the CBR has altered the methodology for calculating the official euro-to-ruble (EUR/RUB) exchange rate. Instead of using direct EUR/RUB trading quotes, the CBR now calculates the rate through a cross-rate formula using data from the European Central Bank (ECB): EUR/RUB = USD/RUB × EUR/USD (based on ECB data).
