The Central Bank attributed the current weakening of the ruble to the decline in oil prices

“There is a deterioration in external conditions, a decline in oil prices.

This is a weighty enough reason for the exchange rate to weaken somewhat, ”he said.

Earlier, Maxim Shein, Director of Client Relations at BCS World of Investments, commented on the growth of the dollar in an interview with RT.

At the auction on Thursday, December 22, the dollar and euro rates on the Moscow Exchange for the first time since the end of April rose above 72 and 77 rubles, respectively, but dropped to 68.8 and 73 rubles in the evening.
