The dollar rate during trading for the first time in two weeks fell below 77 rubles.
Milchakova noted that the strengthening of the ruble, in particular, is due to the fact that the threat of sanctions has receded from Russia a little.
“Now, with a very high probability, the sanctions that the European Union will discuss next week will affect only a fairly limited circle of individuals ... With Nord Stream 2, with a very high probability, everything will be as it is, that is, some no serious negative changes are expected, ”she added.
Also, a certain positive on the market, according to the expert, is created by the fact that it is not yet planned to introduce severe restrictions on business, which were in the spring.
Milchakova explained that the market has hope that the increase in the incidence of coronavirus will be "somewhat milder" for the economy and business.
At the end of September, the Kremlin, commenting on the ruble exchange rate, noted that its volatility "takes place, it's hard not to notice it."
