The specialist identified a number of reasons, which, as he noted, are predominantly external.
“Firstly, the markets naturally reacted to the adoption of the US $ 900 billion stimulus package .... The second moment, which pushed the euro even more, was a serious reassessment of the forecast for next year ...” Maslennikov said.
The expert also drew attention to the fact that today the currency market as a whole is subject to sharp fluctuations.
“There is nothing to be surprised at, this is a common situation associated with the pre-New Year warming up of the markets, and it will partially pass into the next year.
For the ruble, this news is not critical, ”the economist added.
In his opinion, in the future, the price of the euro will be “in the corridor of 90 ... 92 rubles, fluctuating quite seriously”.
Earlier it was reported that at the trading on the Moscow Exchange the euro rate exceeded 92 rubles for the first time in a week.
