The Russian Rouble extended its decline against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday, amid jitters over the impact of US and EU sanctions as well as due to the shortage of foreign currency for debt repayments.

The new round of sanctions imposed by the United States and European Union put further restrictions on Russian oil companies and banks, by limiting access to foreign forms of capital. The banks and companies were hit hard due to acute shortage of foreign currency, following their move.

The rouble continued its last week's decline against the greenback, reaching an all-time low of 38.88. At yesterday's close, the pair was worth 38.33.
