The ruble can somewhat support the statement of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev that exporters will be more actively selling currency, said Sergey Romanchuk, head of the Metalinvestbank d from Metalinvestbank. “If they really start more intense sales, this can support,” he believes.

On Friday, Barclays analysts predicted that the end of the year will reach 73 rubles. Further weakening of the ruble is facilitated by the strengthening of the dollar and a decrease in oil prices.
