“Every week brings some unfavorable news from America.

Either reports that inflation is spinning up, then stock indices are falling, then forecasts about an economic crisis.

This determines the fall of the dollar against the ruble, ”said the specialist.

The expert described the forecasts for the ruble exchange rate as “more calm”.

“That is why we say that it is not the ruble that is strengthening against the dollar, but the dollar is falling against the ruble,” Belyaev added.

At the same time, according to the economist, next week the dollar may somewhat win back the losses of the last days and gain a foothold at the level of 54-55 rubles.

Earlier, economist Lebedinskaya commented on the ban on the use of pounds sterling in Russia.
