The dollar rose above 58 rubles

Currency trading on the Moscow Exchange opened with a sharp decrease in the ruble exchange rate. According to RBC, immediately after the start of the trading, the dollar rate for the first time in almost four months exceeded 58 rubles, rising at the maximum to 58.46 rubles. The previous time higher than the mark of 58 rubles, the dollar exchange rate rose on April 1, 2015. Analysts associate a decrease in a ruble with a low level of oil prices.

The euro rose to the mark of 63.77 rubles, which is 16 kopecks higher than the closing level of the bidding on July 23.

Analysts associate a decrease in a ruble with a low level of oil prices. During today's trading on the ICE exchange, the cost of Brent oil futures with the supply in September 2015 ranges between $ 55 and 56 per barrel.

"Today is the final day for preparation before paying taxes, but it is not yet possible to turn the trend for weakening the ruble, despite the sale of foreign currency by exporters," the Rosbank report says.

Bank analysts note that the outcome of the meeting of President Vladimir Putin with relevant ministers can be added optimism to the foreign exchange market, during which fiscal consolidation measures and the possibility of deciding on indexing pensions and social expenses in 2016 will be discussed.

The collapse of the ruble began in the fall of 2014. On December 16, the fall reached the lower point - the euro cost more than 100 rubles for some time, the dollar - more than 80. Then the Russian currency was slightly strengthened - in the middle of the winter, the euro cost 70-80 rubles, the dollar - 60-70.

In the spring, the growth of the Russian currency began. In May, the dollar cost less than 50 rubles, the euro - less than 55. The new fall of the ruble began in June.
