Significance
Sanctions announced by the US Treasury on April 6 have had a deeper effect than Moscow probably anticipated. The impact has been hardest on Oleg Deripaska's group of companies including Rusal and its owner En+, whose share prices have plummeted in Russia and abroad.
Impacts
The non-appearance of new sanctions flagged up for April 16 is likely to be only a postponement.
The ruble will weaken but will be buffered by higher oil prices.
A Russian ban on US medicine imports could hurt healthcare services.
