The Russian rouble firmed towards a three-week high against the euro in volatile trade on Tuesday but was steady against the U.S. dollar, while stock indexes inched lower in the absence of new drivers and momentum, Reuters reported.
At 1050 GMT, the rouble gained 1.9% to 58.97 against the euro, its strongest level since May 25. .
Against the dollar, the rouble was unchanged at 56.81 close to multi-year peaks, supported by capital controls that Russia imposed in late February after sending tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine.
