Dollar hits historic high on interbank amid active NBU sales

On Tuesday, October 20, the interbank currency market continued to see growth in non-cash dollar quotations, and at around 10:13 Kyiv time a new historical high was recorded – 45.131 UAH on the "bid" position.

The National Bank continues to actively sell currency to all comers: in the first 10 minutes of trading alone, it sold about 100 million dollars. So far, it has managed to satisfy the main demand; some buyers withdrew their orders, hoping for the dollar rate to return below 45 UAH.

The volume of transactions in the Bloomberg trading system as of 10:07 was almost 140 million dollars.

The euro on the interbank currency market of Ukraine is trading on Tuesday in a narrow range of 50.52–50.66 UAH on the "bid" position – 20 kopecks higher than yesterday's prices for the euro currency.

On the international currency market FOREX, the euro is again attempting to correct against the US dollar after last night's fall due to large-scale protests in several European countries. At the moment, the euro has risen to 1.1235 dollars.
