Dollar continues to get cheaper in exchange offices: currency market overview

Cash dollar selling rates at wholesale exchange points across Ukraine continue to decline by inertia, as the non-cash dollar barely cheapened today.

In the capital, by the end of Friday, the cash selling rate of the "American" at wholesalers fell by 5 kopecks compared to yesterday – to 45.00 UAH, and closer to the evening, offers to buy large amounts at 44.98 UAH began to appear.

In Lviv, by the evening, the dollar was sold at 45.04 UAH, in Dnipro – at 45.09 UAH, in Kharkiv and Odessa – at 45.10 UAH. Meanwhile, in Dnipro the decline was 2 kopecks, in Kharkiv – 3 kopecks, in Lviv – 4, and in Odessa – 7 kopecks.

The price difference between cash and non-cash dollar narrowed to 10 kopecks, but the cash dollar remains more expensive.

Ukrainian banks, by Friday evening, on the contrary, slightly raised their cash exchange rates. By Friday evening, the cheapest dollar was sold by Bank Lviv – at exactly 45.02 UAH (2 kopecks more expensive than yesterday's minima), and the most expensive – by Accordbank and Zaporizhzhia Metabank, at 45.40 UAH (exactly the same as yesterday).

Meanwhile, the euro, which has been rising on FOREX for the second consecutive day, continues to gain in Ukraine as well. On FOREX it today reached the level of 1.12695 dollars. In Ukrainian banks by Friday evening, the minimum selling rate rose to 50.65 UAH at Grant Bank, Oxy Bank and Universalbank. The euro took advantage of a short respite on FOREX and is actively recovering what was lost in Ukraine.
