What is happening now on the cash currency market can be described with one trendy word: volatility. Yesterday prices on the cash currency market were growing, and today they have went down just as much.
By Friday evening, November 13, in Kyiv it was possible to purchase large batches of "white" dollars (i.e., dollars of the 2001-2006 issue) at 46.05 UAH. Compared to Thursday evening, the selling price went down by 4 kopecks, again approaching the psychological level of 46 UAH per dollar.
In some regional centers prices also went down, in others they remained at yesterday's level. In Lviv by Friday evening cash dollar was sold, as in Kyiv, at 46.05 UAH, in Dnipro and Odesa at 46.10 UAH, and in Kharkiv at 46.16 UAH. At the same time, in Kharkiv the dollar became cheaper by 4 kopecks today, in Lviv by 5 kopecks, and in Dnipro and Odesa it remained unchanged.
In Ukrainian banks, the dollar remained at its old price in some places and went up in others. By Friday evening, the cheapest dollar was sold at 45.75 UAH in Kredytvest Bank. The most expensive dollar, meanwhile, was sold at 46.20 UAH in Zaporizhzhia Industrialbank. Both the minimum and maximum price tags rose by 5 kopecks.
Euro prices continued to decline today amid the fall on the international foreign exchange market FOREX that has lasted for the fourth day, where the single currency once again hit its annual low. By this evening, the minimum selling price for the euro started at 50.70 UAH in the Kyiv branch of Sky Bank, while the most expensive euro at 51.65 UAH was sold by Trust Capital Bank. The minimum price tag dropped by 20 kopecks, the maximum by 10 kopecks.
The gap between the value of non-cash and cash dollars has widened to 75 kopecks – 5 kopecks more than on Thursday. As we can see, although the convergence of the two rates continues, it is extremely slow and difficult, despite all the efforts of the National Bank.
