Why is the dollar rising in Russia

“The market is repeating the scenario of late June – early July, when, in conditions of low exchange liquidity and lack of supply of foreign exchange earnings, the increased demand for the currency of a number of large players sharply weakened the position of the Russian currency,” Veles Capital analyst Yuri Kravchenko explained. He pointed out that in the summer months, an increased demand for currency is also observed among the population.

The PSB fears that the dollar exchange rate may move into the range of ₽97-98 this week due to the lack of significant factors supporting the ruble. “We hope that the favorable situation in the oil market will smooth out the growth of the US currency,” the analysts noted.

Maksim Timoshenko, Director of Financial Market Operations at Russian Standard Bank, believes that August will be held in conditions of increased volatility in the foreign exchange market. “However, it is still unlikely to see the dollar at ₽100. The most likely scenario is the corridor of ₽90-95,” Tymoshenko predicted.
