On the morning market most STB made transactions in both directions that has been considerably reflected in demand and potential of dollar for further growth. As a result during the whole session dollar was loosing points and stabilized its falling only in the final phase of the trade. Judging on technical and final results of the session it's possible to say that the presumed correction of dollar rate downward was made by the market at the main session. On the day market, most probably, dollar will try to turn upward due to incompliance of banks offering it, but growth will not exceed KZT135.85 per dollar.

One hour after closing of the morning session out of stock exchange dollar was quoted at KZT135.71/78, one hour and a half later - 135.73/80. At the day trades of KASE at 12:30 p.m. dollar was quoted at 135.76/78, the last deal was made at 135.76.
