Yesterday, after quotations on the interbank currency market started to rise again, cash dollar selling prices also went up. Our assumption that the cash currency market has found another "local bottom" was confirmed.
In the first half of Friday, capital wholesalers were selling cash dollars at 46.09-46.10 UAH – 5 kopecks more expensive than yesterday at the same time. At the same time, some cash exchange operators told the "Kurs Ukrainy" portal that demand for the dollar has revived slightly.
Prices in regional centers also went up following the capital. Today in the first half of the day, wholesalers were selling dollars at the following prices: Ivano-Frankivsk – 46.10 UAH, Odessa, Mykolaiv and Dnipro – 46.15 UAH, Kharkiv – 46.17 UAH, Poltava and Khmelnytskyi – 46.20 UAH.
At 12:00 on Friday, the cheapest dollar at 45.75 UAH was offered by Kreditvest Bank and the Kyiv branch of Sky Bank, while the most expensive dollar – at 46.20 UAH – is being sold today by Zaporizhzhia Industrialbank. As we can see, in banks the dollar has stopped getting cheaper and is starting to grow slowly: by 5-10 kopecks for now, no more.
But the euro continues to get cheaper today. The minimum selling rate at the moment is 50.75 UAH, 20 kopecks below yesterday's minimum. The Kyiv branch of Sky Bank is selling (or declaring the sale of) euros at this rate. The maximum selling rate for cash euros – 51.65 UAH – is at Ukrainian Capital Bank.
The euro exchange rate in Ukraine has been very responsive lately to what is happening on FOREX, where the EUR/USD cross rate yesterday once again updated the yearly minimum.
