As the expert noted, in general, the situation on the market does not change, and the last surge occurred when on April 11 the regulator canceled the 12% commission for buying foreign currency from brokers.
But at the same time, according to the expert, the impact on the market of currency purchases by the population is minimized.
“Since there are cross-border restrictions... The general situation is as follows: there are still sales of foreign exchange earnings by exporters, which is why there is a large foreign exchange surplus in the market.
In the future, the exchange rate may be somehow affected by the decision to postpone the sale or reduce the share of the sale of foreign exchange earnings by exporters,” said Manaenko.
In addition, the interlocutor of RT explained that everyone was worried about the situation with paying for gas in rubles.
“Now, perhaps, the weight of the euro will increase.
We already see that on the Russian market the cross-rate of the euro against the dollar is even lower than on the international market,” he concluded.
Earlier it was reported that the dollar exchange rate during trading on the Moscow Exchange fell below 78 rubles for the first time since April 11.
