Investors return to Russian assets against the background of rapprochement Trump and Putin – FT

Hedge funds and brokers are looking for ways to invest in Russian assets, hoping that Donald Trump with Vladimir Putin will bring capital to the Russian economy.

Financial Times writes about it.

It is noted that some investors are interested in Russian bonds and rubles, because they exclude that Trump can weaken sanctions against Moscow. In their view, the ceasefire agreement in the war of Russia against Ukraine will be a step in this direction.

Despite sanctions, certain Western funds are looking for ways to work with Russian bonds, which, after the invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine in 2022, almost lost value, but now begin to restore positions.

“Of course, there is a certain hype, mainly in the Hedge Funds environment,” says Ninety One investment company Analyst Roger Mark. At the same time, he emphasizes that the ruble trade remains extremely limited, and most Russian bonds are not available to foreign investors through sanctions and internal restrictions.

The publication added that the volume of international trade in rubles fell to $ 50 million a week, while before the Great War they were measured by billions.

Some of the traders use Kazakhstan tenge as a proxy for operations with rubles, which allows to increase the volumes of bidding to $ 100-200 million per week. For 2025, the ruble increased by almost a third with respect to the dollar for the hope of the end of a three -year conflict.

Trump’s specialist Richard Grenell has held closed negotiations in Switzerland on possible supply of Russian gas to Germany through Nord Stream-2.

The US and Russia are considering the possibility of economic partnership in the Arctic. They discuss the joint intelligence of natural resources and the use of new trade routes.
