Ruble-to-dollar rate stable amid low trading activity
RBC, 30.06.2006, Moscow 16:08:48.Two hours before the close of today's special dollar trading session for tomorrow deals the low on deals was 26.81 RUR/USD while the high stood at 27.00 RUR/USD. Both the low and the high remained unchanged since the session's opening. The weighted average dollar exchange rate is 26.94 RUR/USD, the same as the official dollar exchange rate set by the Bank of Russia for July 1. Thus, the ruble-to-dollar rate has stayed flat during the day due to the stabilization of the euro-to-dollar rate on international exchanges. Low commercial interest in dollar deals may also be attributed to this fact. The trade volume was under USD670m as of 3 p.m. today with just over USD225m traded in the previous two hours.
