Exchange Rate Dynamics in Banks and Exchange Offices
Similar trends are predicted in the banking sector. Taras Lesovyi, Director of the Financial Markets and Investment Activities Department at Globus Bank, noted that in banks, the dollar rate will also remain within the range of 41.6-42.2 UAH. As of the evening of August 2, the average purchase price of the dollar in banks was 41.45 UAH, and the sale price was 42 UAH.
It is worth noting that the difference between the purchase and sale rates of the dollar will remain at the previous level. Specifically, in banks, this spread will be 0.5-0.6 UAH, while in exchange offices, it will be 0.6-1 UAH. In the cash market, the difference in purchase rates will fluctuate from 0.2 to 0.3 UAH in banks and from 0.3 to 0.5 UAH in exchange offices. Similarly, the difference in sale rates will be 0.1-0.2 UAH in banks and 0.3-0.5 UAH in exchange offices.
Situation in the Currency Market and Prospects
“Next week, despite the increased demand for dollars, the exchange rate of the American currency will remain within the corridor of 41.6-42 UAH. The market operates under a managed flexibility regime, according to which the National Bank can conduct currency interventions, saturating the demand as much as possible. The balance between sellers and buyers reduces the risk of rate increases,” explained the banker regarding the current market situation.
According to the expert, no significant changes in rates are expected in the near future, and the difference between buying and selling will remain minimal. Furthermore, the rates in the interbank and cash markets will be practically identical. The trend of divergent fluctuations in the dollar rate will continue; however, such changes will not pose a threat to the stability of the currency market and will not provoke panic among market participants.
