On Monday, September 14, immediately after the start of trading on the interbank currency market, cashless dollar quotes began to rise, and by 12:20 they had risen from 44.45 to 44.64 UAH on the bid side, i.e. 19 kopecks higher than the opening price.

The National Bank, instantly assessing the situation, entered the market just a few minutes after the start of the trading session and in about 10-15 minutes sold about 120-130 million dollars. Thus, it prevented a possible supply-demand imbalance. The euro on the interbank currency market of Ukraine on Monday was influenced by two factors: the growth of the dollar against the hryvnia on the one hand, and the fall of the euro on FOREX on the other. On the international currency market FOREX, the euro fell by midday from 1.1597 to 1.1534 dollars amid a rise in the US dollar against other major world currencies.

Prices for cash dollars in the capital have practically not changed compared to yesterday. Both last Friday and today at noon, wholesale exchange offices in Kyiv sell the dollar at 44.74-44.75 UAH. In Lutsk, the dollar is sold today at 44.72 UAH, in Odessa and Khmelnytskyi – at 44.80 UAH, in Kharkiv – at 44.80-44.85 UAH, in Poltava – at 44.85 UAH.

Ukrainian banks by 12:30 sell the dollar at prices ranging from 44.68 UAH in Creditvest Bank to 45.10 UAH in Zaporizhzhia's Metbank. As for the euro, at the moment the cheapest way to buy it is at 51.78 UAH in Raiffeisen Bank.

Oil prices have risen again. The price of the most popular Brent brand today reached $108.63 per barrel. At present, Brent is trading in the range of $107.15-107.35 per barrel.

On crypto exchanges, prices for major cryptocurrencies are again trying to rise after consolidation over the weekend. Thus, Bitcoin (BTC) on the most popular crypto exchange Binance today reached $78,000 per coin, and Ethereum (ETH) – up to $2,532.91 per coin. Currently, Bitcoin is being sold at $77,970-77,990 per coin, and Ethereum - at $2,520-2,525 per coin.
