Method

trend: lognormal, zero drift, from 85.42 (CBR, 8 Oct), annualised volatility 0.18 (rouble's typical 2024-26 range), 83 days. base: judgmental 25% (year-end seasonal import demand historically weakens the rouble). signals: LR 1.1 fuel imports and export bottlenecks weakened the rouble over summer (Nabiullina); LR 0.9 oil above $120 supports export revenue.
