The audit showed that the ruble does not cope without support. On the eve, on August 23, a sharp rise in the dollar and the euro - almost to 69 and 80 rubles. accordingly - forced the Bank of Russia to announce the termination of purchases of foreign currency for the RF Ministry of Finance. Interventions stopped, at least until the end of September. After the decision of the Central Bank, the ruble went to strengthening, which continued on Friday, August 24. This is also facilitated by the situation on the oil market, believes the analyst of GC InstaForex Igor Kovalev. "In the morning, Brent is again traded with an upward slope, but the dollar is retreating slightly in pairs with major currencies. If this trend continues in the near future and even develops, the ruble may try to push the "American" under the level of 68 rubles. ", - said Kovalev IA REGNUM. However, 68 rubles. for a dollar - too big a revaluation of the American currency. The "red price" of the dollar is about 54 rubles. , the rest - the premium for geopolitical risks, explained RIA Novosti expert brokerage company "International Financial Center" Vladimir Rozhankovskiy. Consequently, as long as the regulator is on the side of the domestic currency, and nothing new is happening in the world that can excite investors, the ruble has a chance to strengthen. By noon on August 24 at the Moscow Stock Exchange, the dollar was worth 67.87 rubles. , which is 33 kopecks. cheaper than the previous day's close.
