MOSCOW, 29 Jan - RIA Novosti/Prime, Dmitry Mayorov. The ruble exchange rate to the Euro and the dollar on Thursday night continued to decline amid sanctions risks and uncertain dynamics of oil prices. The dollar was updated on Thursday to a maximum of one year, rising to 69, 44 of the ruble.
The dollar calculations "tomorrow" to 18. 44 GMT grew at 0, 9 ruble - to 68, 97 ruble, Euro - 1, 35 roubles to 78, 25 rubles, from the capital exchange.
The price of Brent to this hour was increased by 0, 5% to 48, 7 dollars per barrel.
The ruble during the trading day Thursday showed a downward trend against the conservation of geopolitical negative.
The intensification of the fighting in the East of Ukraine is fraught with new sanctions against Russia, according to Western officials, and it puts pressure on the Ruble.
for example, the Spanish foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-margallo considers the possible introduction of new EU sanctions towards Russia, if the situation in the East of Ukraine will deteriorate.
The end of January of the tax period also reduced the support of the ruble from sales of foreign currency by exporters. Against this background, it seems, the Finance Ministry had on Thursday to sell the currency With residues to maintain the ruble.
about it, for example, may indicate a decent amount of trades and some reduction in the dollar and the Euro in the late afternoon, say officials.
International oil prices also until not give cause for confidence ruble bulls. Their inability to gain a foothold in the psychologically important level of $ 50 per barrel creates a risk of medium-term prospects of the ruble.
against this backdrop, the dollar bulls was aimed at all level 70 rubles and reached it about 50 cents, thereby updating the maximum of the current year.
The danger of expansion of sanctions by the EU and the uncertainty associated With further action by the fed is forcing investors to buy the Dollar, and not the Ruble, says Sergey Kochergin from the organization Exness.
" but tomorrow's meeting of the CBR can provide support. On the background of growth of inflation in the Russian Federation, the Russian regulator Might keep the key interest rate unchanged at 17% per annum. We believe that with the rise of the dollar above 70 rubles CBR and the Ministry of Finance will conduct foreign exchange intervention, " said Kochergin.
The introduction of new sanctions against Russia apparently still delayed, and in these conditions all the participants of the Russian market will be drawn to the meeting of the Bank of Russia key rate on the last working day of the week, said Yury Kravchenko from the investment company Veles Capital.
"With high probability, the regulator will keep the key rate at the current level (which contribute to the risk of inflation and continued uncertainty in the foreign exchange market), which to some extent positively to the ruble, but the effect of this will be worked out fairly quickly, or not at all will be visible on the market," With less optimism predicts Kravchenko.
