The second half of the day was characterized by the stationary trades on the marks, close to KZT121.00. Most probably, the increased demand for dollar worked out. Judging from the banks' disposition on KASE during the last several days, the number of net buyers has exceeded the number of net sellers several times. At that, the indicators of the third table clearly speak of a game of the last ones on rise of the dollar exchange rate, and this game turns out yet. On Wednesday, IRBIS analysts expect the attempts of traders to test KZT121.00. However, the prices are unlikely to fixate above that level. [2007-12-25]
