The main factors are still the same. The high ask on American currency on the side of commercial banks was compensated by monopolized bid, which exerted pressure on USD/KZT pair. As a result, prices ranges of trade have expanded till the fist support level 120.55. We expect continuation of the morning session trend on a day market. The dollar was quoted at 120.59/63 at the KASE day session at 11:48 a.m.; the first deal was concluded at 120.59. The dollar was quoted at 120.59/60 on over-the-counter. [2008-07-02]
