The dollar exchange rate in Russia has not yet reached its maximum. Despite the fact that at the end of the last working week he jumped to a terrifying 67.2 rubles. , ahead of a new growth. Analysts attribute the collapse of the ruble, first of all, to the political situation in the world, namely, with US sanctions on the Russian Federation. The bill, which involves strengthening economic restrictions on Moscow and even its activities in international organizations such as the OPCW, was submitted to Congress in early August. The appearance in the media of excerpts from the document has already led to a jump in the foreign exchange market. However, it will take time to discuss the bill and agree on amendments. Consequently, the new sanctions will be announced no earlier than November. Then we should expect a new fall of the ruble. "If sanctions are adopted in the original version, then the dollar / ruble pair is able to grow to the level of 80 rubles. and update the historical highs, and the euro / ruble pair - up to 85 rubles.

", - said Deputy Director of the Analytical Department of Alpari Anna Kokoreva. If the US does not escalate the situation, then the dollar by the end of 2018. will cost 69-70 rubles. , euro - 80-81 rub. "In any case, the situation is unpleasant, since it can provoke further price increases and a decrease in purchasing power," the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper quotes the analyst as saying. The official rate of the dollar, set by the CBR 11. 08, is 66.91 rubles. , euro - 76, 68 rubles.
