The dollar fell to the level of mid-August

The American currency in the Russian interbank market for the first time since August 11, 2026, broke the mark of 82 rubles, going below this level. The corresponding dynamics was recorded during the bidding.

According to data as of 10:40 GMT, the dollar lost 0.62% and traded at around 81.925 rubles. At the same time, the single European currency also showed a weakening: the euro in the Russian interbank market decreased by 0.32%, dropping to 92,269 rubles.

Thus, both key world reserve currencies at the time were in a negative zone against the ruble, with the dollar showing a more noticeable decline – its decline was almost twice as noticeable as that of the euro.

The mark below 82 rubles was the first for the US currency since mid-August 2026, which underscores the continued strengthening of the Russian currency in the interbank market segment.
