The euro exchange rate exceeded 80 rubles

The euro exchange rate on the Moscow Exchange on the evening of March 10 again exceeded 80 rubles. In the middle of the day, it dropped to its lowest level since December 2015, but then rose by about four rubles in a few hours.

• During trading on March 10 on the Moscow Exchange, the euro fell to a minimum of 75.87 rubles - about two rubles below the opening level of trading.

• A dollar on the Moscow Exchange costs about 71.7 rubles. During the auction, the US currency fell to a minimum of 69.94 rubles.
