The American currency has easily reached a new height. According to the Central Bank of Russia, its rate exceeded 33 rubles and stopped at the level of 33.03 rubles. The second popular foreign currency among the Russians, the euro, keeps pace with the greenback. The value of the eurozone currency rose by 17 kopecks to 43.78 rubles. There is a bulk of reasons that provoked the ruble's decline. For example, a strong position of the U.S. dollar and its increase in relation to other majors. Besides, the market participants express high confidence in the United States economy. Despite the decrease of the indicators in July, the consumer confidence index still lies close to the five-year high. An additional factor contributing to the currency stable growth is the meeting results of the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee. The state of the Russian ruble is unlikely to change taking into account enormous external influence and inaction of the Ministry of Finance that may trigger only further ruble's plunge. It is worthy of note that in early summer after the MinFin announced its intentions of buying up the currency, it warned about possible ruble devaluation this autumn. On the one hand, the government was planning to foster the economic growth; on the other hand, to cover the lack of receipts in the national budget. After estimating the current situation and considering all the above-mentioned factors, experts declared that the 2-3 ruble decrease was rather predictable and did not radically affect the market participants.
