The Ukrainian currency market has recorded another movement towards the strengthening of the US dollar. The National Bank of the country has announced the official exchange rates for June 11, and the American currency has risen in price again, reaching new historical highs. At the same time, the European currency demonstrated stability, maintaining its positions without change.
Official rates for tomorrow
According to the regulator's data, the US dollar exchange rate continued its upward trend. Compared to previous figures, the cost of the "greenback" increased by 15 kopecks. The official rate for June 11 is set at 44.97 hryvnias per dollar.
The situation with the euro is different. The European currency is holding stable positions, and the NBU has not made any adjustments to its value. The euro rate for tomorrow will remain unchanged at 51.89 hryvnias.
Expert forecasts and inflation risks
The increase in the dollar exchange rate to maximum levels raises questions about the expediency of saving in foreign currency. Taras Lesovoy, Director of the Financial Markets and Investment Activities Department of "GLOBUS BANK", shared his view of the situation in a comment to RBC-Ukraine.
The expert forecasts that inflation in 2026 could be 9.4%. In his opinion, current indicators do not create critical grounds for buying currency at any price. Lesovoy notes that the situation could change radically if the dollar rate reached the mark of 46–46.5 hryvnias, or if inflation accelerated to 11–13%. However, at the moment, these scenarios are viewed more as risk limits rather than the main forecast for the development of events.
Market stability at the beginning of June
Despite the rise in the dollar exchange rate, experts do not expect sharp jumps in the near future. Taras Lesovoy believes that the beginning of June is unlikely to bring loud changes to the currency market. Expected fluctuations in exchange rates will likely remain restrained. Existing market mechanisms and "safety valves" should prevent short-term concerns from turning into a large-scale threat to the economy.
Thus, although the dollar continues to update historical highs, experts call for a balanced approach and do not recommend panicking based on short-term fluctuations.
