By the end of July, daily trading volumes in yuan reached 100 billion rubles on the stock exchange. The increase in transaction volumes was recorded against the background of increased volatility of the ruble exchange rate. This is reported by "Kommersant".

The total volume of yuan trading for the month amounted to 2.3 trillion rubles, which is the highest since February of this year.

The activity of market participants was fueled by the harsh statements of US President Donald Trump, speculators actively played on exchange rate fluctuations. After his statements about the imposition of sanctions against the Russian Federation, the yuan exchange rate rose by 1.2%, to 10.95 rubles, and then to 11.09 rubles against the background of his setting a deadline for Russia of 10 days.

Additional volumes of currency were also brought to the market by exporters who were preparing rubles for paying quarterly taxes and annual dividends.

In the near future, in the absence of further escalation, trading volumes may decrease, market participants believe, while the yuan exchange rate may continue to rise due to lower rates on ruble-denominated instruments.
