During the trading on the Moscow Exchange, the euro rose to 90.07 rubles. The mark above 90 rubles is overcome for the first time from September 8.
At the beginning of the day, the dollar grew by 0.37 rubles and exceeded 76 rubles.
In a conversation with The Insider, Economic expert Yang Markinsky said that uncertainty in financial markets will remain before the US elections. “In the spring, it became clear that we had a deal with OPEC+, we began to export less oil, which very much reduced the revenue of our budget. Because of this, then the drop in oil and gas prices occurred by 20-30%, which also greatly lowered the revenue of our budget. Plus, like everyone else, there was a coronacrisis, which greatly crumpled the budget, and for the first time in 11 years, our Ministry of Finance classified a series of data. In summer and autumn, the following factors began to be added - the situation with Navalny, which caused a strict resonance in world politics, as a result of which they talked about new sanctions against Russia, which significantly worsened the already disgusting investment climate. The situation with Belarus played approximately the same, because Lukashenko regularly conferred Putin on the topic of financial and military assistance, which gave a negative context for Russia, which again worsened our investment climate. And the main trigger of the whole fall is, of course, elections in the USA. In my opinion, uncertainty in financial markets will remain before the election in the United States. The ruble all this all the time, most likely, will be under pressure. ”
Recall that in early September, the ruble exchange rate at the auction of the Moscow Exchange fell sharply after the statement of the German government that Alexei Navalny was poisoned by poison from the Novice group.
Earlier, the German authorities informed the G7 countries that Navalny was poisoned by a new and more powerful version of the “beginner” compared to the one that was used against Skripal. The German authorities are sure that the "beginner" of this type could only create in the state laboratory. According to German investigators, if the bottle had not got into Germany, it would be much more difficult to determine the specific type of poison, and it was this lost detail that became the largest failure of the Russian special services.
