I have a hypothesis about how they will strengthen the ruble...
I think a two-step plan will be played out:
1) The Central Bank will sharply raise its interest rate—by as much as two points (which will ultimately undermine construction and hopes for GDP growth);
2) The government will secretly force several large exporters to sell more currency (I believe a total of at least ten billion).
As a result, the dollar will drop from 100 to 90, and the President will proudly praise the Central Bank for its successful work in strengthening the ruble, which will be reported across all channels. After that, the exchange rates of the dollar and euro will gradually start to rise again...
