As a result, USD/KZT rate decreased a little, notwithstanding regulating factor's support. From the viewpoint of technical analysis, "bear" trend has a strong power. However, we expect volatility rate to decrease in nearest future and to fix at points that are higher than the current range under the influence of separate banks` demand on dollar liquidity. The dollar was quoted at 120.18/19 at the KASE day session at 11:48 a.m.; the last deal was concluded at 120.19. The dollar was quoted at 120.16/22 on over-the-counter. [2008-07-22]
