 Markets at Friday's Close: What's Happening with the Dollar and Ruble? Friday, May 15 — closing the week. According to evening data: EUR/USD — 1.1681 The euro holds above 1.16, but without sharp movements. The market is waiting for a new batch of macro statistics next week. The technical picture is neutral with a slight bullish bias. USD/RUB — 73.32 The ruble is stable amid the absence of geopolitical triggers. 73-74 is the current corridor. Further movement depends on oil and the Central Bank's rhetoric. Treasury yields are rising — markets are pricing in the persistence of high rates longer than expected. This puts pressure on risky assets. The dollar index is moderately rising amid inflation concerns. My view: Friday trading is usually low volatility, but next week could bring surprises. I'm watching the EUR/USD pair — if we break below 1.1650, the path to 1.15 opens up. If we hold above 1.17, the bullish scenario remains in force. What do you think?
