Russian foreign minister out on the wires 15 Feb
- we have tangible evidence that Western countries have tried to interfere in Russian presidential election
- Russia will take tough measures if efforts to interfere in its domestic affairs do not stop
Tit for tat ? Yesterday US officials were accusing Moscow of meddling in US mid-term 2018 elections.
The first round of the Russian presidential election will be held on Sunday 18 March. If in the first round no candidate attains an absolute majority of the votes (more than 50%), then a second round will take place three weeks later on 8 April 2018.
Meanwhile USD still going nowhere in a hurry since NA desks and data have got involved.
USDJPY 106.55 but GBPUSD 1.4078 having failed at 1.4100 so far.
