Against the backdrop of stabilization on the interbank foreign exchange market, the selling prices of the cash dollar have almost stopped declining. It seems the cash currency market is starting to find its next "local bottom."
In the first half of Thursday, capital wholesalers sold cash dollars at 46.05 UAH – the same price as yesterday at this time. At the same time, some cash exchange operators told the "Kurs Ukrainy" portal that dollar demand has noticeably weakened: Ukrainians expect prices to fall even further and are in no hurry to buy.
Prices in regional centers have partially declined and partially remained at yesterday's level. Today, in the first half of the day, wholesalers sold dollars at the following prices: Dnipro – 46.05 UAH, Lutsk – 46.08 UAH, Poltava, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, and Chernivtsi – 46.10 UAH, Khmelnytskyi – 46.20 UAH.
As of 11:00 on Thursday, the cheapest dollar at 45.70 UAH was offered by Creditwest Bank and some PUMB bank branches, while the most expensive dollar – at 46.15 UAH – was sold by Europrombank. As we can see, the dollar has practically stopped getting cheaper in banks as well, and where rates did drop, the decrease does not exceed 5–10 kopecks.
Meanwhile, the euro has dropped significantly today. The minimum selling rate at the moment is 50.95 UAH, 30 kopecks lower than yesterday's minimum. At this rate, the euro is sold by Bank ¾. The maximum cash euro selling rate – 51.80 UAH – is at Trust Capital Bank. The euro in Ukraine reacted to yesterday's fall on FOREX, as a result of which the EUR/USD cross rate renewed its annual minimum.
