On the day session, against the background of increasing demand the dollar's exchange rate went up. Next week is a tax week in Kazakhstan. Offer of dollar will have a relatively strong influence on the exchange rate's fluctuations. However, we do not forecast any serious falling with a lower boundary at KZT120.30 per dollar. [2008-03-14]
