The upward trend of the dollar rate will continue
A moderate rise in the dollar against the hryvnia is expected over the next week. The dollar in the interbank market can be traded in a week around the level of UAH 28.15.
Maksim Parkhomenko, an analyst at Alpari, said this in a comment to RBC-Ukraine.
As the analyst noted, over the past week, the hryvnia first quickly strengthened and then quickly lost its positions against the dollar. The result on Friday was the return of the hryvnia to its previous positions.
The supply / demand of the dollar in the interbank market, according to the company UkrDealing, changed during the week from 27.95 / 27.96 UAH to 27.99 / 28.00 UAH / dollar. The average rate of buying / selling of dollars in cash in banks did not change during the week and remained at the level of 27.80 / 28.00. At the same time, the spread between the average sale and the average purchase remained at the level of 0.7%.
“The fall of the dollar was due to the activation of non-residents, who exchanged currency for hryvnia to buy government bonds. So, in the last auction, the Ministry of Finance raised more than 28 billion hryvnia in total.” added the analyst.
However, on Friday, at the opening of trading, the hryvnia tried to strengthen to 27.74, and at the close of the market it fell to 28.00 hryvnia per dollar. “Next week we will see a continuation of this trend. The dollar has growth potential at 28.15,” he said.
As a reminder, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) set the official exchange rate at 27.82 hryvnia per dollar on December 21, 2020. Over the past week, the rate has decreased by 0.5% (from 27.96 to December 14).
During the week of December 14-18, 2020, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) bought $ 299 million on the interbank currency market to slow the strengthening of the hryvnia.
