At that, demand on American currency also decreased rather significantly. Currency proceeds of exporters companies continue affecting internal market. USD/KZT rate reacted considerably less on significant change in value of USD/EUR, observed since the end of August. Insignificant purchase increase on local market was likely to be aroused by intention to decrease risks of falling euro. The market looks highly volatilized, however, is still within KZT119 - 120 per dollar. The dollar was quoted at 119.66/119.67 at the KASE day session at 11:59 a.m.; last deal was concluded at 119.67. The dollar was quoted at 119.65/119.68 on over-the-counter. [2008-09-04]
