The session demonstrated a big USD offer stated by most STBs, high monopolization degree of demand for dollar and rather soft support of market's lower borders made by country's head bank. According to trade results the market seems to be ready for further strengthening of tenge. But on the day market, judging on results of technical analysis, it's too early to expect falling of dollar rate below 126.50. Most probably, in the second half of the day traders will h old a positional trade at 126.60. At the day trades of KASE at 12:36 p.m. dollar was quoted at 126.59/62, the last deal was made at 126.60. The volume of transactions reached $28.5 m. On over-the-counter market at the pointed time the dollar was quoted at 126.56/60. [2007-01-03]
