Ruble struggles on FX marketThe Russian ruble has begun to depreciate on the FX market, with some help from the government. But external forces aren’t helping the place of the ruble in currency trading much, either.

One of the biggest factors affecting the Russian ruble in forex trading is the fact that oil prices are falling. Much of Russia’s wealth is based on oil, and with the global recession curbing demand, it is no surprise that the ruble is falling as well.
