In a conversation with the Prime agency, the expert said that at the moment the currency market is dominated by a balance of factors that help and, on the contrary, hinder the movement of the national currency up and down.

“The factors supporting the ruble are a significant trade surplus and capital restrictions,” he said.

According to the analyst, the market is waiting for new decisions of the Bank of Russia on the supply and measures of the authorities, which make it difficult for the ruble to strengthen excessively.

The expert predicted the fluctuation of the ruble around 60 per dollar.

However, Kravchenko stressed, fluctuations of five to seven rubles in one direction or another can also be fixed.

Earlier, BitRiver financial analyst Vladislav Antonov, in an interview with FAN, commented on the situation in the foreign exchange market.
