Technical analysis results allow supposing that the morning price range will remain during the day time. As was pointed out yesterday, the market is likely to be in expectation of the further development of the situation regarding the American currency on the world markets. The European Central bank meeting where the decision on rates of discount will be made (according to the forecast it will remain unchanged - 4.00 %) is scheduled for today; also it is planned to publish US trading balance data, which, according to the forecast will be a bit better, than that compared to the previous period. At the KASE day trades at 12:21 p.m., dollar was quoted at 120.53/55; the last deal made up 120.55. The dollar was traded at 120.55/60 on over the counter. [2008-04-10]
