Ukrainian elections will affect every Russian
The ruble exchange rate will remain unstable at least until the end of the elections of the new president of Ukraine, the results of which are actively trying to influence the United States, including using anti-Russian sanctions.
Natalia Orlova, chief economist at Alfa Bank, stated this in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper, expressing confidence that the topic of sanctions will dominate the market.
“The next month and a half, until elections are held in Ukraine, will be difficult for the Russian market,” the expert warns.
The publication recalls that another attempt by American congressmen to pass a law on tough sanctions against Russia provoked a sharp depreciation of ruble assets. The dollar exchange rate at exchange trading for the first time since the beginning of the year closed above the level of 67 rubles/$, leading indices decreased by 1–3%.
Как PolitNavigator reported, Crimean deputies previously hastened to assure that they do not care about American sanctions.
