  • Hedge funds are betting on the fall of the euro. The volume of short positions on the euro from hedge funds has approached an annual maximum, as investors assume that the ECB has completed the cycle of raising interest rates. The CFTC data also showed that investors using leverage increased the number of short positions on the euro to 23,306 contracts for the week ended September 19.

  • Oleg Deripaska criticizes the sanctions. In an interview with the Financial Times, the founder of Rusal said that Western sanctions against Russia are an outdated tool and are not effective. The billionaire expected that the Russian economy would collapse by 30% due to sanctions restrictions, but this did not happen. 

  • Most of the Russian oil is transported by European tankers.

  • The deal to exit KFC from the Russian market was suspended due to only one OFAC publication. The reason was the «exit tax» — the contribution of the outgoing company to the budget of Russia.
