According to price monitoring by sugar.ru, in the period Aug 20-27, 2015 the dollar exchange rate continued to rise and has jumped by 5.5% (on Aug 20  US$ 1=RUR 65.72; on Aug 27 US$ 1=RUR 69.31). A significant increase of dollar value in a very short period of time has turned out to be a bigger factor than supply of cheap beet sugar, so the ruble prices have rallied. Moscow ruble price of sugar rose by RUR 2.00/kg (+ 4.65%), Krasnodar price rose by RUR 1.70/kg (+ 4.22%). Moscow US dollar equivalent price, traditionally featuring higher inertia, fell by US$ 0.005/kg (-0.76%); in Krasnodar price dropped by US$ 0.007/kg (-1.14%).UKRAINE
