The specialist recalled that the Bank of Russia meeting on the rate, which will take place on February 16, is approaching.
“The market is already beginning to live with expectations of this meeting. Judging by the comments of the Central Bank, we currently do not expect a rate cut. Accordingly, money in the economy remains expensive,” Ramaninov explained.
According to him, the ruble is affected primarily by expectations for the extension or non-extension of measures for the mandatory sale of foreign currency earnings by exporters, oil prices - recently Brent at $78-80 per barrel - and the end of the new tax period.
He added that no sudden movements or jumps are expected.
“Next week we expect the ruble to be in the range of 88-90 rubles per dollar and 95.8-98 rubles per euro,” concluded RT’s interlocutor.
Earlier it became known that on January 31, the dollar exchange rate on the Moscow Exchange increased to 90 rubles.
