A very strong strengthening of the ruble against the dollar, which on Thursday afternoon, February 13, is trading at 89 rubles, provoked a massive closure of exchangers. Users in social networks complain that they cannot change the currency "at home", and there is no information about any problems in large banks yet.
EADaily previously reported on the noticeable growth of the ruble against the dollar after the talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
The dollar has fallen by almost 5% in stock trading, so many operators simply refuse to sell it. The situation with the euro is still unclear.
Additional tension is transmitted to the market from the expectation of the next meeting of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia at the key rate, which will be held on February 14.
