I guess, this caused today's decline of the Russian funds, etc.
This seemed strange at first: the Russian market was UP, but the
funds down. Then I looked at the ruble and saw a small jump. This
might be positive, though, in the long run. Does anyone know about
any new developments on the interest rates front? (see the second
part of this message)

PARIS, April 1 (AFP) - The ruble should be devalued in line with
inflation to provide help for hard-pressed Russian exporters, the
governor of the Russian central bank, Sergei Dubinin, said on
Wednesday.
He was quoted as telling the Finanical Times newspaper that
"objectively" the ruble was strengthening and that "the decline of
the ruble against the dollar is proceeding more slowly than
inflation".
He said that he was now trying to accelerate a decline of the
ruble in line with inflation to provide "neutral" monetary policy.
The newspaper noted that Russia had increased temporarily
interest rates above 40 percent as part of a successful effort to
weather effects of the financial crisis in Asia but now had to
manage a flow of foreign funds into Russian securities offering high
yields
