    Russia’s Central Bank says that 39% of its foreign currency reserves is now either gold or Yuan.

    Wait, wasn't it higher before?

    Also the Central Bank has rolled back the ban on selling currency to individuals on 8th and it seems that the ruble exchange rate has been growing back up, albeit not catastrophically.

      To the first point: possibly, there's a lot of information going around and I've noticed a lot of back and forth and rehashing on some points. Not only military stuff (how much has the DPR actually liberated in Mariupol? one day you get the news that they're totally captured a key area and raised the flag over it, then the day after you get news that there's heavy fighting, then you get news that it's 70% captured, etc) but also on the ruble-for-gas thing which was its whole saga. At this point I'm getting wiser to it and doing the best I can to predict in advance what is embellishment and what isn't, but things still fall through the gaps.

      To the second point: yep, there was a lot of celebration about the ruble going to like 75-72 rubles to dollar and then the ban lifted and it went up to like, 85ish? Although maybe different currency websites give different numbers, it's very confusing to me. Either way, while it's still a bit volatile, the worst is definitely behind it, provided there's no more massive moves by Russia, like invading Finland or something.
