The analysis of disposition of banks of main session shows that leading operators decreased their activity to some extent in making deals and, at present, they have moderate influence on formation of demand and supply. Thus, key role in dollar supporting the demand of medium STBs played, that decreased liberty of the rate to some extent. However, despite this restrained demand, dollar succeeded in closing of session on the upper price mark and, if current cost of American currency does not attract speculatively inclined traders that further strengthening of USD may be expected in day session, supposed potential of which is rather significant and is capable to secure correction growth of the market to the mark of 123.40 due to results of technical analysis. At the day trades of KASE at 12:26 p.m. dollar was quoted at 122.56/70, the last deal was made at 122.68. By mentioned time volume of exchange's transactions reached $13.7 m. On over-the-counter market dollar was quoted at 122.52/66. [2006-05-17]
