The Ruble Surprises With Continued Strengthening 2024-04-19 15:35:29
/ world today news/ This week, the Russian currency managed to overcome an important psychological boundary. It strengthened and crossed 90 rubles per dollar. The dollar rate has approached 88 rubles. Will the ruble manage to strengthen even more?
The Russian currency had already been strengthening for six weeks, but this week saw another strong surge. The ruble broke through the psychologically important barrier of 90 rubles and fell close to 88 rubles per dollar.
The main factor for the weakening and strengthening of the ruble this year is the export and import indicators. The outflow of capital from Russia in 2023 has decreased six times compared to last year, so it cannot be considered the main indicator of the weakening of the ruble, Elvira Nabiulina, the head of the Bank of Russia, said recently.
“The assessment of the head of the Central Bank seems adequate, as well as the thesis that it is wrong to put capital flight as the main reason for the weakening of the ruble this year. The decline in capital outflows this year comes against a relatively low baseline in 2022, when, according to various indicators, between $217 billion and $243 billion were received due to the application of geopolitical risk in the country.

Juror Allowed to Proceed After Disclosing Past Conviction
An alternate juror was permitted to continue with the questionnaire process despite revealing a previous conviction in another state.
Prior to the commencement of the questionnaire, she informed the judge about her criminal history and expressed concerns about disqualification.
During her disclosure, her voice trembled. Observers, including Trump, closely followed her account.
Judge Juan Merchan requested a private discussion at the bench to address the matter. Ultimately, he decided to retain her as a juror.
Following the jurors’ departure for a break, Merchan acknowledged the courage of the woman for sharing personal details in a room of strangers. He urged the press to show compassion towards her.
Important Note: In a recent court session, a juror raised concerns about serving, prompting the judge to emphasize the anonymity of the jury and discourage media coverage related to physical attributes.
“We have unfortunately lost a potentially valuable juror,” Merchan lamented. “Her initial fear and intimidation stemmed from media attention.”
