The Bank of Russia has set the official US dollar exchange rate for July 21, 2026, at 78.3159 rubles, a marginal decline of 8.28 kopecks from the previous session's fixing.
The euro saw a more pronounced adjustment, with the central bank lowering its official rate by 34.56 kopecks to 89.5542 rubles.
These daily fixings serve as a key reference point for corporate settlements and import pricing within the Russian economy.
The modest movement in the dollar rate suggests relative stability in the USD/RUB pair over the weekend, despite broader market fluctuations.
In contrast, the euro's continued depreciation highlights persistent pressure on the currency against the ruble.
Recent fixings have shown volatility, with the dollar rate previously set at 76.1258 rubles on July 8 and 77.9695 rubles on July 7.
