MOSCOW, March 16 Next week, the dynamics of the ruble will be determined by two important events — the election of the Russian President and the meeting of the Central Bank on the rate, said in interview with Prime agency with BitRiver financial analyst Vladislav Antonov.
He recalled that the first factor has already been taken into account by the market and political stability provides additional support to the national currency. The Bank of Russia, most likely, will also leave the rate unchanged, but during the subsequent speech, the head of the regulator, Elvira Nabiullina, may make a number of important statements.
In addition, the market will monitor oil prices — if they rise to $87.5 per barrel, growth may continue, which will provide additional support to the ruble.
In the coming week, the dollar will remain within the range of 90-93.3 rubles , euro — 99.1-101.8 rubles, yuan — 12.5-12.9 rubles, the analyst concluded.
