Why the ruble falls
On January 24, currency courses were updated by many months of records on the Moscow Exchange.
On Monday afternoon, the dollar exchange rate exceeded 79 rubles for the first time since November 3, 2020. The euro rose above 89 rubles for the first time from July 20, 2021.
According to Interfax- TSEA , the ruble falls against the background of NATO actions. On January 24, the organization announced the combat readiness of its armed forces and their transfer to Eastern Europe. Actions are associated with the placement of the Russian military on the border with Ukraine. Western countries allow aggression from Russia, the Russian side explains the transfer of troops by conducting exercises.
In the Kremlin, the situation in the stock market is also associated with international tension, calling it "hysteria of opponents."
