Question of the day: in what currency to store savings until the fall


Leo Konovalov, the user “Vkontakte”:

There is capital in the amount of about 110 thousand rubles., of which 580 dollars, 300 euros and 48 thousand rbl. If in the summer—autumn intend to make a large purchase of approximately $ 100 thousand, how would you do with the accumulated capital in the conditions of change of quotations of currencies?

Alexander Losev, General Director of “Sputnik — capital Management”:

It is important to understand what people are going to buy. If something is imported or contains imported components, then you need to pay attention to the time lag between the movement of exchange rate USD/ruble and changing price tags in stores. With the strengthening of the ruble this lag of approximately three months, with the weakening of the ruble is less than a month. Most likely, the optimal price for a product that is going to buy your reader will be in the summer — in June—July. Away tactics: RUR placed with the Bank for three months, euros and dollars — sitting at the track, and sell as soon as the dollar will suddenly become above 70 and above EUR 79 RUB And RUB again in three months.
