From the first minutes of trades in Asia and Europe American dollar fell relative to main world currencies. Thus, USD/EUR reached 1.4137, while the aim is 1.4200. The negative background was a little carried off by purchase of third major bank Merrill Lynch & Co, however analysts say that forthcoming days and weeks will be crucial for world economy development. Since year beginning, once world major investment banks Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers - have already left world stage. Today uncertain appreciation of tenge continued on internal market on tax payments in Kazakhstan. Tomorrow we forecast trades within KZT119.00 - 119.50 per dollar. [2008-09-15]
