Forex – The Dollar Retreats Against The Russian Ruble And The Currencies Of Eastern Europe
Eastern Emerging Market Currency Pairs Decline. Can they keep going higher?
If the US dollar continues to rise in forex against the Russian ruble, then given the strong correlations, emerging markets in Eastern Europe could rise with it!
The Central Bank of Russia has resumed quoting Russian ruble pairs. However, this does not mean that it is available for traders. Many brokers currently do not offer Russian ruble trading to their clients due to the extreme forex volatility, low liquidity and very wide spreads that ruble pairs have been experiencing since the invasion began. However, Eastern European emerging market currencies continue to have a strong correlation with the Ruble and the USD/RUB pair on the daily time frame.
Polish Zloty (PLN)
The USD/PLN pair has a correlation coefficient of +0.94 with the USD/RUB pair on the daily time frame. A reading of +1.00 is a perfect positive correlation and means both pairs are moving in the same direction 100% of the time. A reading of +0.94 is pretty close. USD/PLN hit a low of 3.9132 on February 10, the day before the US announced that an invasion by Russian forces could take place any day.
