The Russian Ruble lost ground against the U.S. dollar in Asian deals on Thursday, as oil prices fell following official data showing another weekly build in crude inventories.

Adding to record highs, inventories rose 2.3 million barrels last week, compared to economists' estimates of an increase of 2.83 million barrels, according to EIA data.

The Russian Ruble hit a 1-week low of 69.23 against the greenback, compared to Wednesday's closing value of 67.93. The next likely support for the ruble is seen around the 71.5 zone.
