Voltage on the financial markets that have prevailed in recent weeks, it seems somewhat weaker. In his speech yesterday before Congress, U.S. President Barack Obama said he was not interested in punishing American banks for the crisis occurred, although it will oppose any bill to reform the financial system, which would be "too weak". He also promised the Americans that will restore the growth of employment, limit the widening budget deficit and double exports over the next five years. According to Barack Obama, offered them health care reform would allow the United States to reduce the budget deficit to $ 1 trillion. within the next 20 years. However, such an approach to solving the budget problem "will allow Americans to have insurance to keep your doctor and your insurance plan. It will help to reduce health care costs for millions of families and businesses." The same goal - reducing the budget deficit, currently $ 1.4 trillion. - On "Obama"s plan, the budget reduction package of spending federal agencies, which is now estimated at $ 0.477 trillion. The U.S. Federal Reserve yesterday left its key interest rate unchanged and reiterated its intention to phase out the program with the repurchase market for treasury bonds and debt securities of mortgage agencies. At the same time, she was once again declared the commitment of the Fed "soft" credit policy, which will be held Reserve System "for a long period." In addition to macroeconomic assessments Fed once again improved. According to the outcome document of the January session of the FOMC, in particular, "cost of business equipment and software to show signs of growth." In a similar review of the December Fed said that "business continues to reduce capital investment, although with less activity than before."

It should be noted tha1000t recently Germany"s Chancellor Angela Merkel also said that the euro in the coming years, expects "difficult period". It is possible that in the short run, overall easing of tensions on the segment of risky investments, yet will support the exchange rate of EUR /USD. However, the medium-term potential for further strengthen the USD exchange rate against the euro, against the backdrop of increasing European inflation and investment risks, and in a possible general trend of the U.S. currency on the FX at the moment, is relatively high. ruble RF to the USD and against the currency basket of the MICEX today to 10:00 Moscow time was 30.37 and 35.85 rubles. against, respectively, 30,31 and 35,79 rub. Tuesday morning. possibility of the outcome of further depreciation of the ruble of Russia in the foreign exchange market in the medium term remains. Correlation dynamics quotation EUR /RUB and EUR /USD at the same time indicates that, while maintaining the current level of the relative value of the single European currency to the dollar, from the perspective of the coming weeks, the target level for the rate USD /RUB is a mark 31 RUR. for USD.
