The dollar rate may reach 100 rubles this summer. About this “Lente.ru” stated Chief Economist of Alfa-Bank Natalia Orlova.
“I had a target of 90 rubles per dollar for August, but now we have exceeded it. For the next month and a half, 100 rubles per dollar seems too much to me. But on the other hand, our summer months are quite turbulent and I cannot ignore such a scenario,” Orlova said.
According to him, there are currently no signs that will stabilize the market. However, such a situation may arise if market participants conclude that it makes sense to sell the currency. Therefore, the main question now is what factors do market participants pay attention to and what they see as the equilibrium state.
He added that now the market will quickly weaken the ruble. This was mainly due to the decrease in the trade surplus. Also, this factor is superimposed on the outflow of capital from the country.
