According to Morgan Stanley bank estimates, the probability of cancellation of sanctions against Russian is 35% within the next two years, in spite of the positive rhetoric of Donald Trump concerning Russia – Take-profit.org reports.
“Morgan Stanley assesses at 35% the probability of lifting US sanctions against RF in 2017-2018 after the election of Donald Trump as US President”, as it is reported in the bank report, quoted by TASS.
In addition, it will be more difficult for the White House to persuade EU in the necessity to retain sanctions.
Nevertheless, the initial actions plan, published by Trump’s Executive Office, there are no mentions of improvement of relationships with Russia.
Meanwhile, the Russian currency and the Russian stock market positively respond to the election of Trump as US President, unlike most other markets. If now, the president and his administration will avoid the issue of softening sanctions or improvement of relationships with Russia, then it will become a very clear signal to investors, which will start to withdraw funds from ruble assets quicker.
It should be reminded that for the first time, EU and US sanctions against Russia were imposed in 2014. Then, they were extended against separate economy RF sectors as well as were repeatedly extended and supplemented with new names and companies.
