The expert spoke about the prospects of the ruble exchange rate this week

The dollar, euro and yuan exchange rates are likely to continue to stabilize in the ranges of 82-85 rubles, 95.50–98.50 rubles and 11.20–11.80 rubles, respectively. Spartak Sobolev, head of the Alfa-Forex Investment Strategy Research Department, told Izvestia on September 29.

On September 27, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation set the exchange rate of the American currency at 83.6 rubles, the European currency at 97.6 rubles, and the Chinese currency at 11.6 rubles. At the same time, according to the Moscow Exchange, on September 29, the yuan is trading at 11.5 rubles.

"Trading activity in the market is low, and by the end of the third quarter, there was an increased supply of foreign currency during the tax period. The beginning of October is likely to be accompanied by a further recovery in import demand, which will continue to exert medium—term pressure on the ruble along with factors of slowing economic growth," Sobolev concluded.
