The dollar and the euro have updated the highs on the Forex market
The ruble has again updated the historical minimum during currency trading on Forex.
Today, on March 7, the dollar is trading at the level of 138.75 rubles, and the euro is 150.58 rubles.
The sharp fall in the ruble exchange rate was the result of anti-Russian sanctions by the EU and the United States in connection with Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine.
In particular, the West has frozen all assets of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, as well as a number of other banks.
Against this background, in Russia, when buying euros or dollars on the stock exchange, a commission is charged for individuals.
As Topnews wrote, restrictions were also imposed on transfers abroad for foreigners.
Later, the Bank of Russia closed currency trading on the Moscow Stock Exchange on Monday.
However, it is not only the ruble that suffers from the sanctions policy.
In Europe, the rise in gas prices has updated historical highs. On March 7, the price there is $ 3,500 per thousand cubic meters. At the same time, a little earlier, the price approached $ 3,900, after which it dropped to $ 2,900.
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, decided to comment on this with a bit of irony.
So, he congratulated the short-sighted EU officials on the decision to stop certification of the Nord Stream—2 pipeline, RIA Novosti reports.
“I can only congratulate my far—sighted European colleagues who have reliably defended themselves against the treacherous Russians and the Nord Stream 2 project,” Medvedev said.
As Topnews wrote earlier, experts estimated the economic losses of the EU due to anti-Russian sanctions.
