He noted that the situation with the exchange rate is influenced by the news of the geopolitical agenda, which the markets "may count as a retreat of threats."
“Nervousness subsided a little.
There are certain hints from the position of our Foreign Ministry and commentators in the presidential administration that, despite all the contradictions and difficulties in the negotiation process, the parties want to continue it.
This is very important for the markets,” Maslennikov explained.
In his opinion, the actions of the Central Bank, which the analyst described as "timely", are also important.
“When the Central Bank stopped buying foreign currency as part of the fiscal rule for our international reserves, it played a strengthening role.
Not immediately, but these few days showed that the decision of the Russian monetary authorities was correct and timely, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.
Earlier it became known that the euro and the dollar fell against the ruble.
