Complete bullshit. Russia pretends it has a value against the dollar but does not allow trade against the dollar.
If the Ruble really would perform so well why are not all Russians buying dollars?
Easy answer: because they can not.
Yes, those poor idiots can only buy tax free gold! Those stupid bastards!
So, can we still buy Rubles if they can't buy US dollars? Asking for a friend. A friend that doesn't care, but a friend none the less. But how exactly does that work if it only goes one way?
Also, I'm not quite sure what your argument is. Are you claiming that markets.businessinsider.com is lying about the exchange rate, or that they are exaggerating it?
Oh, it's because they are demanding gold instead. Namely to facilitate their oil sales. Oh but that is the government you might say? The people? Again, see link above. But you already knew that didn't you? You're so smart. A real know it all.
Oh cool. Show me the trade volume for gold then.
no one knows what happens in the gold market, it's mostly paper
