According to IRBIS specialists` forecast, American currency continued today its falling relative to tenge. Beginning of tax week in Kazakhstan and petrodollars flow-in domestic market (oil prices are remaining on high levels) had its influence.

At the same time, we leave our forecast unchanged relative to price range in medium term prospect - KZT119.90 - 120.80 per $1. Necessity in STB huge foreign debt payments this year and hard regulative influence remain the main factors, which restrain tenge appreciating.

The dollar was quoted at 120.05/08 at the KASE day session at 12:02p.m.;
the last deal was concluded at 120.07. The dollar was quoted at 120.05/09 on over-the-counter.
