According to the specialist, next week for the ruble exchange rate the main factors will be the meeting of the Central Bank of Russia on the rate and information on new sanctions from the US and the EU.

“The White House announced that a decision could be made to lower the price ceiling for Russian oil - the ruble could react to this information by falling against the dollar and the euro.

It is still difficult to predict by how much, but the dollar may well rise to 80 rubles per unit,” Deev said.

He also noted that the decision of the Central Bank of Russia on the rate, if the regulator raises the rate by 0.25-0.5%, will become a support factor for the ruble, but for a short period.

“As before, the national currency is more dependent on the cost of oil on the world market and on data on the export of Russian energy resources.

In a positive scenario, the ruble will remain at its previous positions next week, in a negative scenario, the dollar may rise to the level of 78-80 rubles, and the euro will exceed 82 rubles per unit, ”concluded the interlocutor of RT.

Earlier it became known that the Binance cryptocurrency exchange closed transactions in US dollars and euros for Russians through the P2P service.
