“Fundamentally, the picture of the next week for the ruble does not change anything.
Even with the decline in oil prices, the dollar rose slightly.
However, an important event for all world markets next week will be the next meeting of the Fed on the rate, where it is expected that the regulator will raise the rate again, although by a smaller step than before: 0.5 percentage points instead of the traditional 0.75 this year. the investor explained.
This, according to the expert, will lead to the strengthening of the dollar against other world currencies, which may affect the Russian ruble.
“Oil quotes will also be an important factor, but there are no prerequisites for their serious decline in this period, if there is no news that will lead to this, for example, data on the slowdown of the world's leading economies,” he added.
As the interlocutor of RT explained, it is most likely that in the week of December 12-16, 2022, the American currency will be traded within 61-63 rubles per unit, the euro - at a level of about 65-66 rubles.
“In the negative scenario, the exchange rate of the American currency may rise to 64 rubles, the euro - up to 67 rubles per unit,” Sidorov concluded.
