MOSCOW - Russia's ruble on Thursday resumed its slide to new record lows against the dollar, tumbling over three per cent in early trading beyond 84 to the greenback as the price of oil fell.
The ruble -- which has already been battered over the past 18 months by low energy prices and Western sanctions over Ukraine -- also weakened to over 92 against the euro.
