Continuing the educational column. Today we will talk about how international sanctions affect currency markets.

Sanctions often have a significant impact on the currencies of the countries they target, but can also affect the currencies of trading partners.

A good example is the sanctions against Russia in 2014. Restrictions on access to capital and a ban on technology exports led to a weakening of the ruble. But this also hit the euro: due to losses by European companies linked to Russia, the euro fell by 12% in a few months. Investors preferred the dollar, as they always do in periods of macroeconomic instability.

The Polish zloty also suffered, falling 17% in 2014 due to a decline in trade with Russia and capital outflow.

Thus, sanctions not only weaken the currencies of target countries, but also affect their partners. Information about sanctions can not only lead to new trends, but also cause very high volatility. In such periods, it is very important to work with a reliable broker that will give you the opportunity to instantly open or close transactions.
