Rouble opens at 15-month low vs dollar after aborted mutiny
The Russian rouble opened at a near 15-month low against the dollar in early morning trade on Monday , responding for the first time to an aborted mutiny by heavily armed mercenaries over the weekend.
It had lost 2.2 per cent to trade at 94.37 versus the euro and shed 2.1 per cent against the yuan to 11.95. Investors globally were watching for ripple effects from the aborted mutiny, with some expecting a move into safe havens such as US government bonds and the dollar.
