The situation from yesterday repeats itself on the interbank foreign exchange market on Wednesday: the same balanced trading continues in a narrow range of 45.34-45.365 hryvnia on the "bid" position. Today, however, trading is taking place at prices 20 kopecks lower than yesterday's.
At 10:54, the volume of transactions in the Bloomberg trading system amounted to 72 million dollars, which is slightly more than yesterday at the same time. The cheaper dollar has attracted some buyers. But most of them, seeing that quotations are going down, have decided to pause and wait, hoping to buy even cheaper.
The National Bank is selling gradually, but this is no longer the massive intervention from the very morning that we saw on Monday.
The euro on the interbank foreign exchange market of Ukraine on Tuesday also demonstrates stability and is trading in a narrow range of 5.51-50.61 hryvnia – about 60 kopecks lower than yesterday at the same time. On the international currency market FOREX, the EUR/USD cross-rate fell by 120 points in less than a day and a half - from 1.12514 to 1.11316 dollars. The euro is falling against the dollar after yesterday's release of data on rising inflation in the USA. This increases the chances that the Fed will raise the key rate at its next meeting.
