However, as a week before, a highly monopolized supply fully compensated a demand. USD/KZT sliding down has been highly dependent on regulation influence. From the viewpoint of technical analysis, the dollar support level is forming at 120.40, at which the day session is likely to pass. The dollar was quoted at 120.45/48 at the KASE day session at 12:11 p.m.; the last deal was concluded at 120.47. The dollar was quoted at 120.45/49 on over-the-counter. [2008-07-08]
