Currently about 5 to a dollar with the "Asian help"..
The Ruble drop could have been a calculated gambit by the Russian Enterprise?
Interesting thought that the Russians themselves tanked the Ruble. Personally I don't think so. Possibly in the beginning a bit but I can't imagine lately.

Agreed some Asian help has recovered the Ruble somewhat. Also the holiday season in the West stopped the pressure somewhat.
