The banker expects that on August 1 the dollar exchange rate will be 40.8-41 hryvnia.
Rate The dollar will gradually grow both next week (from July 28 to August 2) and throughout August.
Taras Lesnoy, head of the treasury department at Globus Bank, said this, writes RBC-Ukraine.
Lesnoy noted that several key features of the foreign exchange market are expected next week.
“At the intersection of months, the process of gradual, slow growth of rates will stop: the market tried to reach new exchange rate peaks, but the NBU took measures within the framework of flexible management and calmed the rates a little. It is expected that the dollar rate will remain in the range of 40.7-41.7 UAH/dollar,” he said.
The banker believes that on August 1, the dollar rate may reach 40.8-41 UAH, which is 1-1.3% higher than the rate on July 1 (40.45 UAH/dollar).
Lesnoy noted that the “managed flexibility” regime will continue to operate, which means that currency changes will occur gradually and without sharp jumps. The regulator can act more actively to prevent significant imbalances between supply and demand.
Speaking about what will happen in August, he said that new exchange rate ranges may be formed in the last summer month, which correspond to those included in the budget (41-42 UAH/dollar and 44-47 UAH/euro). These rates may reflect a reaction to rising inflation caused by rising electricity prices, power outages and a possible increase in fuel excise taxes.
Recall that the National Bank named the most profitable banknotes.
