The Russian ruble struck its weakest mark since late April on February 14, hurt by lower foreign currency revenue inflows from hydrocarbon exports and a continued recovery in imports as companies build new supply chains. The ruble was 0.1 percent weaker against the dollar at 73.93, having hit 73.9850 during the session, its lowest point since April 25. The Russian currency lost 0.6 percent to trade at 79.52 versus the euro and shed 0.3 percent against the Chinese yuan to 10.83. To read the original story by Reuters, click here.
