The Russian ruble briefly strengthened intraday on Monday but ultimately weakened slightly against the Chinese yuan, while Russian stock indices showed mixed performance over recent sessions. Trading data from MOEX, as reported by TASS and Interfax, indicate that equity indices were in positive territory on Monday and Wednesday, but the MOEX index declined to 2,765 points on Tuesday. The ruble–yuan move is notable given the yuan’s growing role in Russia’s trade and financial settlements amid shifting currency preferences.
