Domestic currency went on the offensive and significantly strengthened its positions. During today's trading on the Moscow Stock Exchange, the ruble has updated its monthly record for the first time since the end of August having gone below the level of 67 rubles for $ 1. As of 11:57 Moscow time, the dollar sank by 42 kopecks to the level of yesterday's close. Its price was 66.95 rubles. Euro meanwhile fell by 24 kopecks and began to cost 78.33 rubles, according to data on the site of the trading platform. At the same time, the single European currency earlier in the course of the exchange session dropped even lower - to 78.26 rubles. For experts, this turn of events did not come as a surprise.

On the eve of the Russian currency also strengthened, and today this trend was continued. According to the analyst of Alpari company Vadim Iosub, the ruble was helped yesterday by rising oil, a decrease in the heat in the currencies of other developing countries and the Friday decision of the Central Bank of Russia to tighten monetary policy. Today, the effect of these factors continued by inertia, and the ruble continued to moderate strengthening, the "Prime". Another source of positive was the cancellation by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation of another auction for the placement of federal loan bonds. Thus, the regulator warmed up interest in securities, which became an additional support for the ruble. Players again woke up to the appetite for risky assets.

Thanks to this, the Russian stock market, by the close of Tuesday, updated the historical maximum in ruble terms. As a result of the day, the ruble indicator of the Moscow Stock Exchange jumped by 1.21%, to a record 2402.58 points.

Analysts do not exclude that the ruble exchange rate will fluctuate significantly, because negative factors can still influence him. First of all, this is the danger of new sanctions. Investors are still afraid that US authorities will prohibit foreigners from buying and selling Russian debt securities, which is a strong stress factor for the ruble. Therefore, by the end of the day, the Russian currency can again go for a mark of 67 rubles for $ 1. In general, experts predict that the daily range for the dollar will be 66.7-68 rubles, for the euro - 77.8-79.4 rubles.
