Grain market:

Russians will no longer be able to enter the European Union with their smartphone, laptop, etc. Now the wealthiest tourists will have to pull a telephone line with them. And since it is no longer possible to enter by car, soon there will be videos of a Russian tourist walking towards Warsaw or Berlin carrying not a backpack, but a reel with a cable, and a DSL modem for it, to check mail, call loved ones.

Insanity is gaining momentum. And we are all about markets, our dear ones. Hello!

This release was prepared with the direct participation of analysts from trading platforms eOil.ru and IDK.ru. Here is an assessment of the situation on the global and Russian markets.

Erdogan came and was given 1 million tons of wheat for processing. The flour will be delivered to poor countries at the expense of Qatar’s money. EU officials immediately began signaling that this was wrong. One thing is wrong here: they did without Brussels in principle. We must make sure that the Russian flag and coat of arms are printed on packages of flour so that the hungry can see and remember where the “free” food was brought to them from.

Interested parties continue to fuss over the grain deal, making up things as they go. There have been proposals to open SWIFT for a subsidiary of Rosselkhozbank, but the Russian side is not satisfied with such handouts; in accordance with the agreement, it is Rosselkhozbank itself that must be connected to SWIFT. Let us note that in the current situation, Moscow can and should defend its own interests. The issue of the “grain deal” has turned from something of little importance into a matter of principle.

One of the problems when carrying out autumn field work is expensive diesel and its physical absence in a number of farms. That is, fuel is simply impossible to buy, it doesn’t exist. The issue reached the Minister of Agriculture and the Duma. There are proposals to ban the export of petroleum products in order to saturate the domestic market. If the problem is not solved, then next year we will have a much more modest harvest.

We are waiting for the USDA report on the 12th. After its release, volatility in the market will increase.

Reading our forecasts, you could take the move up the DTL based on Surgut from 55,000 to 90,000 rubles per ton.

Energy market:

Oil has consolidated at 90.00 and aims to continue its upward movement. So far there is only talk about the fall of China, but in fact the world factory continues to work, absorbing oil.

OPEC+ looks good, but the balance is very fragile. The Arabs have already begun to play on both sides, like Erdogan. Everyone wants to squeeze as much as possible out of the conflict between the West and Russia.

The G20 meeting took place in a rather tense atmosphere. For the energy market, this means that countries are not ready to give in to each other, which means prices will remain at current high levels. Are you for Russia in a conflict with Ukraine, or against it, this is just a projection of defending your own interests in many areas. Paradoxically, for many heads of state, unequivocal support from Washington and Brussels is unacceptable, since this would mean the loss of their own voice in the international arena.

USD/RUB:

A meeting of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation will take place this Friday. Everyone is waiting for a rate increase. The question is how much. Judging by how actively current government bonds are being sold, the market sees a further increase in the rate in the future from 3 to 6 months. And there’s no point in looking any further now.

Russia will increase its internal debt at a rate of 3 trillion. rubles per year. The current national debt is 15 trillion. rubles, this is an insignificant amount compared to GDP, only 10%. Note that the more expensive the loans, and new loans will be expensive, the more difficult it is to service the borrowings. This problem will worsen no earlier than in two years, provided that budget revenues do not grow.

The ruble rate may strengthen slightly, to the level of 90.00, after the rate hike, but high demand for imported goods will not allow the domestic currency to reverse the bearish trend.
