MOSCOW, Aug 13 (Reuters) - The Russian central bank did not purchase foreign currency for state reserves on Aug. 9 for the first time since April 16, central bank data showed on Monday.
The rouble dropped sharply to multi-month lows last week on fears of a new round of U.S. sanctions targeting Russia. The currency weakened further on Monday. (Reporting by Vladimir Abramov Writing by Tom Balmforth Editing by Catherine Evans)
