At current oil prices, the dollar should cost 20 rubles less - about 50 rubles. But in reality this does not happen. The journalists complained to the Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Maxim Oreshkin. Yesterday, at the auctions on the Moscow stock, the value of the dollar and the euro fell sharply, having thus played a fall in the ruble at the end of last week or beginning of this week. By the close of the exchange, the US currency lost 1.15 rubles in price, the European currency fell by 1.23 rubles. As a result, for $ 1, 69.41 rubles were given, for 1 euro - 80.6 rubles. The head of the Ministry of Economic Development called the correction of the course a perfectly logical course of events. According to him, the weakening of the national currency is associated with a short-term sharp outflow of capital from Russia. As soon as the outflow ceases, the trend will unfold in the opposite direction, the official believes.. "And if you look at yesterday, the ruble began to strengthen seriously, despite the fact that in global markets developing currencies felt stable," - quotes the Minister of RIA Novosti news agency,. Oreshkin sees no reason to change the medium and long-term forecast of the exchange rate at 63-64 rubles per dollar: "The balance of payments is strong, the budget balance is about 1% of GDP surplus, external debt is moderate". According to the head of the Ministry of Economic Development, despite the fact that the global crisis has covered a number of developing countries, Russia has a sufficient margin of safety. Experts predict the ruble for the next few days lateral dynamics. In their opinion, the dollar will remain in the range of 69.5-70.25 rubles, the euro - in the corridor 80.75-81.5 rubles. Further dynamics depends on the development of the situation in Syria, the possible expansion of trade restrictions of the United States and China and the dynamics of oil prices, according to "Rossiyskaya Gazeta". "Fundamentally, the Russian ruble has the potential for more pronounced recovery after a recession of rush sales," experts agreed with the opinion of Maxim Oreshkin.
Additional support for the ruble and other currencies of developing countries is provided by the situation around Brexit. In recent days, favorable news has emerged about the settlement of conditions for Britain's withdrawal from the EU. This news served as a stabilizing factor. On the other hand, the expected resumption of the discussion surrounding the introduction of a new package of sanctions against Russia in the US Congress may lead to another surge of panic among investors and serve as the basis for the depreciation of the ruble.
