In a conversation with the Prime agency, he recalled that next week the dynamics of the ruble will be determined by two important events - the Russian presidential elections, as well as a meeting of the Central Bank on the key rate.

Antonov said that political stability is a factor in supporting the national currency.

The analyst also predicted that the Central Bank will leave the rate unchanged.

Earlier, Yaroslav Ostrovsky, a specialist at the Department of Strategic Research at Total Research, predicted the position of the dollar, euro and yuan against the ruble until the end of May.
