U.S. Dollar Gained Momentum
The U.S. dollar has materially appreciated at the special trading in Russia, tomorrow settlement. The maximum deals were clinched at 24.70 ruble/dollar, i.e. 19 kopecks, or 0.8 percent, above the official rate set for December 17.
The dollar soared 13 kopecks to 24.64 ruble/dollar at the very beginning and the rising trend has survived later on.
The U.S. dollar has been appreciating to Russia’s ruble for the second trading day in a row. It gained 8 kopecks a day before, having hit the physiological barrier of 24.50 ruble/dollar.
The healthy gains of dollar in Russia root in another global depreciation of euro. Currently, a euro costs roughly $1.4430 vs. roughly 1.4440 roughly as of 10:00 a.m. MSK. So, the European currency lost another 0.1 percent to dollar over a relatively short period.
