The dollar exchange rate may rise to 100 rubles in the near future. This development of events was predicted by an expert from the Academy of Finance and Investment Management.

According to him, this growth can occur under the condition of several factors, including the renewal of the armed conflict in Donbass and the imposition of the most severe sanctions by the US and the EU, such as blocking accounts, property and cancellation of visas, against the inner circle of Russian President Putin. The exchange rate may also be affected by the situation with Navalny, the fall in oil prices and the collapse of markets.

The expert believes that a combination of two or more of the above factors will put pressure on the ruble. Such a scenario may develop already in the fall – by September traders will return from vacations, at the same time key decisions on corporate taxes and taxes on income in the United States are expected to be made, and elections to the State Duma will be held in Russia.
