At the same time, majority of SLB continued to work on the side of net-buyers, total amount of which exceeded net-sellers in 9 times. Stable ask on American currency on the side of SLB is connected with some dollar liquidity problems on the market. This year banks pay huge volumes of foreign debts and are restricted at the background of credit crisis in capital borrowing. In its turn, it is graded by considerable flow of petrodollars, at the same time contributing to growth of volatility of USD/KZT pair, which is restrained by damping position of the head bank. The dollar was quoted at 120.63/67 at the KASE day session at 12:04 p.m.; the first deal was concluded at 120.65. The dollar was quoted at 120.65/67 on over-the-counter. [2008-07-01]
