The morning market has continued further strengthening of tenge being guided by events of the previous week. Despite the rather low quotations of USD at opening, during the whole session dollar rate tended to falling. Market's conjuncture was again formed under the influence of the high USD offer volume from outside of STB and strong monopolization of demand.

One hour after closing of the morning session out of stock exchange dollar was quoted at KZT131.81/91, almost two hours later - 131.79/88. At the day trades of KASE at 1:00 p.m. dollar was quoted at 131.86/88, the last deal was made at 131.88.
