By 1535 GMT, the rouble was 0.7% weaker against the dollar at 100.30 , its weakest point since Aug. 14. The rouble has lost support of a favourable month-end tax period that usually sees exporters convert FX revenues to meet local liabilities. "But this will happen either in the second half of the month or when the exchange rate goes above 100 roubles per dollar," Antonov said.

May 4 (Reuters) - The Russian rouble climbed to a more-than-one-month high on Thursday, gaining for a fifth straight session, as oil prices staged a partial recovery, countering the impact of reduced foreign currency supply. By 0923 GMT, the rouble was 1% stronger against the dollar at 78.44 , its strongest mark since April 3. The rouble has also benefited with a lag from high oil prices throughout April, which translates to higher export revenues for Russian exporters. Russian stocks are unlikely to see any serious buying interest before Russia's long weekend, said Sinara Investment Bank analysts. Geopolitics are partly to blame for Russian stocks' recent decline, while investors globally fear recession, hence the sustained drop in Brent, Sinara said.

MOSCOW, Nov 22 (Reuters) - The Russian rouble hovered around 61 to the dollar after touching its lowest in nearly two weeks early on Tuesday, with pressure from oil market jitters countered by rouble buying to cover month-end tax payments. At 0714 GMT the rouble was down 0.1% against the dollar at 60.90 , having slid to 61.1950 earlier in the session for its weakest since Nov. 10. The rouble could strengthen towards the 60 mark during the session, said Bogdan Zvarich, chief analyst at Banki.ru. The rouble is supported by a month-end tax period in which exporters usually convert foreign exchange revenue into roubles to pay domestic liabilities.

By 1201 GMT the rouble was down 1.2% against the dollar at 63.44 after touching 63.9975 for its weakest since July 7. The rouble has been supported by capital controls and a collapse in imports since Western sanctions were imposed over Russia's actions in Ukraine and companies left the market in droves. Promsvyazbank analyst Yevgeny Loktyukhov pointed to escalation in Ukraine and a pullback in oil prices as a reason for the rouble's slide. Brent crude oil , a global benchmark for Russia's main export, was down 1.7% at $94.58 a barrel at 1200 GMT. Russian stock indexes, which were dragged sharply lower by Gazprom (GAZP.MM) in the previous session, were regaining some ground.

By 1409 GMT the rouble was down 2.1% against the dollar at 64.03 , its weakest since July 7. The rouble has been supported by capital controls and a collapse in imports since Western sanctions were imposed over Russia's actions in Ukraine and companies left the market in droves. Already blighted by Western sanctions, Russia's economy now faces a more self-inflicted blow, with President Vladimir Putin's military mobilisation drive threatening to undermine productivity, demand and recovery. Promsvyazbank analyst Yevgeny Loktyukhov pointed to escalation in Ukraine and a pullback in oil prices as a reason for the rouble's slide. Brent crude oil , a global benchmark for Russia's main export, was down 2.3% at $94.0 a barrel at 1410 GMT.
