The euro exchange rate on the Moscow Exchange exceeded 67 rubles

The euro exchange rate on the Moscow Exchange exceeded the mark of 67 rubles for the first time since the beginning of March 2015. As of 17:29 for one euro, 67.001 rubles were given. The dollar at the same time traded at the mark of 60.62 rubles.

Since the beginning of the day, the cost of the euro has grown by almost two rubles, the dollar by one and a half rubles. The official Central Bank course for July 29 is 66.63 rubles per euro. The dollar rate is 60.22 rubles.

The weakening of the Russian currency is associated with a drop in oil prices - on July 28, the cost of a barrel of Brent dropped below $ 53 for the first time since January 2015. Oil, in turn, is cheaper due to an excess supply and a decline in the Chinese stock market.
