The rate of US dollar decreased to 120.67 (our forecast - 120.68). The rate of ask monopolization remained high, despite of dollar trade volumes fall and practically equal correlation of net-buyers and net-sellers quantity. We expect no significant decrease of a dollar rate on the day session, due to the country head bank damping influence on the market. The dollar was quoted at 120.66/67 at the KASE day session at 12:58 p.m.; the last deal was concluded at 120.67. The dollar was quoted at 120.66/69 on over the counter. [2008-06-05]
