Expert predicted the ruble exchange rate this week
By the end of this week, the dollar will trade in the range of 97.5-102.5 rubles, euro - 101.5-105.5 rubles, yuan - 13.5-14 rubles, believes the head of the department of research and investment strategies of "Alfa-Forex" Spartak Sobolev. He told "Izvestia" on January 21.
The Russian Central Bank set the rate of the U.S. currency at 99.9 rubles on January 22, the European currency - 103 rubles, the Chinese currency - 13.7 rubles. At the same time, the yuan traded at 13.6 rubles on January 21, according to Mosbirzhi.
"The ruble at the beginning of the third decade of January shows positive dynamics, forming the trading boundaries of 97.5-102.5 rubles per dollar, 101.5-105.5 rubles per euro and 13.5-14 rubles per yuan," Sobolev specified.
According to him, the national currency is supported by increased demand from exporters before tax payments, as well as the emerging cautious optimism in the domestic capital market before possible negotiations between the new U.S. administration and the Russian leadership.
Earlier, in early December 2024, Sberbank CEO German Gref said that there is no room for a serious weakening of the ruble. In his opinion, the dollar rate at the end of 2025 will be approximately 112-115 rubles. At the same time, he admitted that some weakening of the national currency is indeed present, but no surprises are expected: the rate will fluctuate depending on the situation.
