Judging by disposition of trades` participant, nearly all commercial banks operated as net-buyers. External factors are likely to affect the mood of trades` participant. On Friday, EUR fell to the limit against USD for nearly 8 years (the last value is $1.5005 per euro) on expectation of sharp business activity decreasing in Eurozone in the third quarter of current year. Falling prices on energy resources effect dollar (oil reached $115.75 per barrel, having decreased by $30 compared to record level in July). At the same time, tense situation in Georgian - Ossetin conflict zone will likely to affect oil deliveries from Caspian region, what can reduce downward price trend on world markets. Judging by results of technical analysis, IRBIS analysts forecast positional trades at KZT120.10 per dollar price points till the end of trade day. The dollar was quoted at 120.12/14 at the KASE day session at 11:54 a.m.; no deals were concluded. The dollar was quoted at 120.14/18 on over-the- counter. [2008-08-11]
