Europe under (too much?) pressure. Understanding the ruble exchange rate.

Today's slide deck: https://bit.ly/38cTvGN   -

Today we look at the euro brushed back lower on dovish ECB talk and Putin's demands for sanctioning countries to "pay for gas in rubles". Also, while the outlook is dim for EU economic growth, at what point are relative European equity valuations simply too cheap to ignore? Elsewhere, the US tries to impress the oil market with a massive reserve release that may be too massive to physically get to market at the intended pace, we are concerned that not enough wheat will be planted this year. Today's pod features Peter Garnry on equities, Ole Hansen on equities and John J. Hardy hosting and on FX.
