In the near future, the dollar exchange rate will fluctuate in the range of 89-92 rubles per dollar. Such a forecast in an interview with Lenta.ru was given by the candidate of economic sciences, financial expert Vladimir Grigoriev.
“Until any fundamental event occurs, related to both commodity flows and the stabilization of export earnings, nothing will fundamentally change, the exchange rate will remain at this level,” the economist believes.
According to him, the euro exchange rate will also be subject to fluctuations.
The economist said that now the ruble exchange rate against currencies is under pressure from an acute geopolitical situation. The situation at the front can also influence him, he added. According to Grigoriev, the more confident Russia’s military positions are, the stronger the ruble will be.
The dollar exchange rate at the auctions of the Moscow Exchange on July 31 exceeded 92 rubles for the first time since July 7, the euro reached 102 rubles.
The Russian currency on the morning of August 1 lost about 30-40 kopecks against the dollar and the euro, then moved to strengthening. As of 11:28 Moscow time, the dollar is trading at 91.7425 rubles, the euro – 100.665 rubles.
