> The Bank of Russia says higher global energy prices supported the ruble’s appreciation from March through May. The central bank added that the currency has since corrected following its June meeting. According to the statement, the ruble’s level has returned to where it stood in late April 2026. The comments link the currency’s earlier strength to developments in global energy prices.
