The largest moves

From one official rate to the next: the five largest rises and the five largest falls of USD/RUB since 1992. Before 1996 the Bank of Russia set its rate about twice a week, so the early moves span several days.

How the numbers are made

  • Source: Bank of Russia, official exchange rates of the ruble (cbr.ru; its materials may be reproduced with a link to the source). Official rates: the Bank of Russia sets each rate for the following day; here a rate sits on the date from which it applies and holds until the next one (a rate dated Saturday also covers Sunday and Monday).
  • Why the Bank of Russia: its rates cover the ruble without breaks (the euro since 1999). The ECB had a ruble rate of its own from 2005, but suspended it after 1 March 2022.
  • Old rubles: rates before 1 January 1998 were set in pre-1998 rubles and are divided by 1,000 here (the 1998 redenomination: 1,000 old rubles = 1 new ruble), so the whole line is in today's rubles. Before 1996 the bank set its rate about twice a week.
  • Our calculations: changes, averages, highs and lows and the candles are calculated by BigCapital from the Bank of Russia's published rates.
  • The line: for periods over three years, the last rate of each week (plus the highest and the lowest rate of the period); for shorter periods, every rate.
  • Candles and bars: built from the daily rates, one per week, month, quarter or year, whichever fits the chart's width (the caption says which). Each opens at the last rate before its period; its high and low are the highest and the lowest rate in it, and it closes at its last rate. Each rate is one number a day, so these are not intraday highs and lows.
  • Changes: the latest rate against the rate in effect on the same date a week, months or years earlier (the last rate on or before that date).
  • Years: the first and the last rate of each calendar year, the highest and the lowest with their dates, and the average of all its rates; the change is the last rate against the last rate of the year before.
  • Largest moves: from one official rate to the next.
  • No inflation adjustment: a real exchange rate needs the price levels of both countries, so these pages show the rates as published.
  • Updates: every night. The ECB publishes on working days around 16:00 CET; the Bank of Russia sets the ruble rate on its working days for the next day.
  • Not investment advice. Past exchange rates do not tell where a currency goes next.
