“Here, in my opinion, there are several reasons ... First, the situation that arose in the global oil market after the OPEC + decision did not increase the level of production, but to maintain all volumes at the previous level, with an exception for Russia and Kazakhstan, played a role.
This slightly accelerated prices upwards, which, of course, as a general rule, supports the ruble, ”he explained.
In addition, as the expert noted, in addition to this, there are a couple of factors on the world market, for example, the situation related to the dynamics of the dollar exchange rate.
“Several days before that, he had been growing quite seriously, responding to the growth in the yield of American ten-year government bonds.
Now this trend has slowed down somewhat ... As for the euro, this is already connected with the general economic situation in the EU countries.
Our internal affairs, the policy of the monetary authorities played their role ... It is difficult to say how long the situation will last.
The exchange rate of the dollar and the euro in the near future will be unstable, ”Maslennikov said.
At the same time, as the specialist added, the general forecast remains.
According to him, by the end of the month the euro rate will be in the range of 88-90 rubles, and the dollar rate - in the range of 73-75 rubles.
Earlier it was reported that the euro rate during trading on the Moscow Exchange fell below 88 rubles for the first time since September 2020.
As of 14:35 Moscow time, the dollar fell by 35 kopecks - to 73.85 rubles.
The euro exchange rate fell by 48 kopecks and amounted to 87.96 rubles.
