If US President-elect Donald Trump abandons extreme protectionism, the American currency will fall in all directions in 2025, including against the Russian ruble.
This forecast was made by financial expert Alexander Prisyazhnyuk.
His statement is quoted by the publication Bankiros.ru .
As the expert said, Trump announced his intention to raise duties on European goods.
If the tariff war is carried out, Prisyazhnyuk continued, inflationary pressure will increase in the United States.
In this regard, there is reason to believe that Trump will eventually abandon extreme protectionism in favor of non-inflationary growth.
According to Prisyazhnyuk, if this happens, the American currency will fall in all directions.
Including the ruble, the expert added.
