The ruble continues its lingering peak. Hopes that the depreciation of the Russian currency against the dollar and the euro will stop, again failed to materialize. However, experts do not lose optimism: according to them, it is now finally formed the conditions for strengthening the "Russian". This morning on the Moscow stock exchange there is a pattern usual for the last month. In just an hour or so, the Russian currency lost 29 kopecks to the dollar, resulting in the value of the US currency reaching 68.16 rubles. Euro meanwhile went up by 16 kopecks, to 79.51 rubles, according to the data of the trading platform. Yesterday the ruble also lost its positions: according to the results of the trading session on August 28, the US dollar rate of tomorrow's settlements rose by 35 kopecks, the euro rate - by 92 kopecks. To stop the fall did not help either the refusal of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation to purchase foreign currency on a budgetary rule, nor the rise in oil prices. The market is so afraid of a new wave of US sanctions, as a result of which the purchase of federal loan bonds may get caught, that investors shy away from ruble assets, like from fire. Some experts believe that the fall in the value of the ruble will continue. "Little support from the ruble will be, but given the completion of the tax period, the weakening of the ruble may intensify with new force," - said the analyst of Alpari company Vladislav Antonov. "Fear inspires the ruble, which falls even with the dollar that is cheaper in the international arena and expensive oil. In our opinion, the main reason lies in the investors' confidence in the further devaluation of the ruble. Monetary authorities benefit from a weak ruble rate, which will fill the budget, but will take real inflation far beyond the designated goal of 4%, "- said analyst Alor Broker Alexei Antonov. Meanwhile, the expert of the International Financial Center Vladimir Rozhankovskiy is confident that positive statistics on crude oil reserves in the US will strengthen the ruble. The forecast should be published today; It is expected another drop of 0.5 million barrels. Logically, this should lead to a correction of oil prices and exchange rates of commodity currencies, in particular the ruble.

The slight weakening of the dollar, caused by the payment of subsidies to American farmers affected by Chinese counter-sentences, "opened the way for a synchronous appreciation of a wide range of all kinds of market assets, starting with the currencies of emerging markets, so merciless and largely unjustly" beaten "last week and ending with gold, gives the opinion of a specialist "Rossiyskaya Gazeta". "As a result, the foreign exchange market is unlikely to find a reason for continuing sales in the ruble after a local drawdown on Wednesday. And the Russian currency will finish the week, most likely near its new equilibrium levels - 67.5-67.7 against the dollar, or 78.7-79 rubles per euro, "Rozhankovsky concluded..
