Bump!

Does someone know of some retail place offering any of these pairs? (Even an SB!) I'd like to hold for periods of several days...

Erm, you know that RUB is under a managed float regime, right? In the interbank RUB NDFs trade, but that's about it. So I don't think you're gonna get far with this.

Thanks. No, I didn't know that! So what's the best way to speculate that Russia's going to go down the tubes in the next month?

I dunno, tbh... Sell the Russian stock index? I think it's called MICEX, but I have no idea who would offer you the ability to trade it. If I recall correctly, there were a few threads on these forums about trading Russian equities.

Thanks. Doesn't look as though forex is the way for me to do it, then.
I've started another thread here.
