Russian Central Bank Cuts Interest Rate But Warns on Economy
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/business/article/russian-central-bank-cuts-interest-rate-but-warns-on-economy/526569.html
Inflation, meanwhile, accelerated to 15.8 percent as of July 27, up from 15.3 percent in June. The bank said that was temporary result of utility tariff increases and inflation would fall to 7 percent in July 2016 and to 4 percent in 2017, meeting the bank's target.
The bank appeared much more worried about economic growth. An unexpectedly severe contraction in domestic demand in the first half of 2015, it said, meant that it may lower its output forecast for a 3.2 percent GDP contraction in 2015.
"The scenario with oil prices remaining below $60 per barrel for a long time is more probable than it was in June," the bank said.
===
Amazing that inflation is still increasing in Russia.
Normally in the summer goods become much cheaper, particularly food.
But then Putin has cut off all food from abroad. And things will only get worse in the winter.
But I am sure in the Russia press, and the Shaun Walker Kremlin articles Putin is more popular than ever ever...
And if things get even worse for the Russians, then Putin will be even more popular. - in the press.
In most countries, conditions for a revolution. But the Russians are too scared to do anything.
And the propaganda has brainwashed a good half of the population.

The current state of the oil market, from www.bloomberg.com/energy/
Crude Oil & Natural Gas
INDEX UNITS PRICE CHANGE %CHANGE CONTRACT TIME ET 2 DAY
WTI Crude Oil (Nymex)
USD/bbl. 47.12 -1.40 -2.89% SEP 15 17:14:59
Brent Crude (ICE)
USD/bbl. 52.21 -1.10 -2.06% SEP 15 17:59:58
Will Brent go below 50? Russian oil is priced slightly below Brent.
Remember that the original Russian budget was based on an oil price of 120.
At 70 they might be ok. But below 60, they are struggling.
Putin probably has one more year before he faces financial meltdown, unless he makes some changes.
Or if the oil price rises. But world markets are very static currenly, China included.

This article in Reuters - English - from january this year. Relevant, as that was last when the price was this low...

In case of further escalation of elections in Donbass impossible - Poroshenko (Zik.ua)

"This issue - a joint decision Kyiv military and civil administration. If it is possible to ensure the free will of citizens, my position - the election will be. If we see escalation of hostilities as the last two days, then physically elections can not be conducted.
[Correct.
I think Poro realises now, he can wait.
Russia is in decline, and Putin will have more and more problems. The Russian people will begin to look away from the Shaun Walker propaganda, and think more about their own problems at home, rather than the "fascists" in Ukraine, or Europe, or USA.
Lies can only work for a certain period of time. ]
