“Currently, the main factors for the Russian ruble are the balance of exports and imports.
Trends towards an increase in imports due to the adopted state program to replace European goods are already manifesting, the demand for foreign currency is growing, which leads to a gradual appreciation of the dollar within the country, ”the specialist explained.
Otherwise, the national currency is quite stable and there are no factors for its strong weakening in the near future, the source said.
“Therefore, we should expect that over the next week the dollar exchange rate will still be 61-62 rubles, and at the end of the month the indicator may slightly decrease due to the onset of the tax period in Russia, when there is a high demand for rubles from exporting companies,” Deev concluded.
Earlier it became known that the dollar exchange rate on the Moscow Exchange fell below 60 rubles for the first time since October 6.
