The Russian rouble weakened 0.1 percent to 81.25 against the US dollar and 0.3 percent to 11.35 against China's yuan, responding to central bank governor Elvira Nabiullina's hint of possible future key rate cuts despite an expected inflation jump in early 2026. Analysts view this as bearish for the rouble.
