Trades showed the high demand for dollar form the side of commercial banks and their clients. Quantity of net-buyers of USD exceeded almost for three times the corresponding indicator on net-sellers. It again demanded the tough support of upper limits of the market in the interval of 125.08- 125.15. All attempts of traders to buy dollar on higher prices were neutralized. The degree of monopolization of supply was very high.

Session had demonstrated not only meaningful potential of dollar to further strengthening but also that the speed of this strengthening can not be any.

Result of technical analysis remains unchangeable.

By opinion of IRBIS-s analytics, till the end of day the market will try to increase the price of American currency more higher.

At the day trades of KASE at 12:40 p.m. dollar was quoted at 125.13/125.14, the last deal was made at 125.14. On over-the-counter market dollar was quoted at 124.04/13.
