Again, you are talking completely out of your arse.

The Russian stock exchange ( MICEX) was 2,337 in Feb, and it's 2,321 today. And it's been volatile as hell over that period. If you invested in MICEX on Feb. 18th 2018, you would be DOWN nearly 5% today.

That's 7 months smack in the meat of Trump's trade agenda.

Not to mention, the Russian Ruble value to the US dollar has LOST 20% in just the last 6 months, going from 0.175:1 to 0.140:1. Ruble:USD

The Russian economy is contracting and their inflation is rising.

60% of Russia's economy is based on their oil and NG exports, and even with crude oil reaching $77/barrel, they are still only going to hit ~1.6% GDP growth this year. Last year they had the same 1.6% GDP growth. And last year Crude averaged about $50/barrel.

How does oil go up around 50% in value and yet Russia's economy stay stagnant, their stock market drop, and the value of their currency plummet compared to the Dollar?

Here's a clue... Trump's sanctions, strengthening of the US economy, expansion of US oil and NG production and exports, and global trade policies are buttfricking Russia and Putin. That's why.

You have no clue WTF you're talking about
