The dollar has risen in price and costs 27.82 rubles.

The ruble exchange rate to the US dollar continued to decline. At today's auction, the dollar has risen in price by 5.3 kopecks. And now it costs 27.8213 rubles. According to dealers, the reason for the increased demand for dollars can be called the completion of the tax payment period, which caused a week earlier a significant decrease in the volume of free rubles from banks and, accordingly, a decrease in foreign currency demand. The Central Bank today took part in the auction, stabilizing the course of 27.86 rubles/$. Until the end of the week, the dollar will fluctuate within 27.80-27.88 rubles, dealers believe.
