The maneuvers should last until 20 February. The number of military and weapons participating in the exercises is not disclosed.
According to SberCIB, investments from the National Wealth Fund (NWF) will support the ruble, which could cause the dollar to fall to 68 rubles. According to forecasts, in the most optimistic scenario, the premium for geopolitical risks in the ruble exchange rate will decrease significantly. In this case, the ruble will be able to strengthen to 68 per dollar.
In early February, analysts from BCS Global Markets predicted that the dollar could rise in price to 103 rubles due to the possible introduction of anti-Russian sanctions against the backdrop of a tense situation with Ukraine.
