A bulk of STB operated as net-buyers. At the same time, session volumes were low. We expect USD/KZT rate to sharply grow to 120.10 at a day session. The major factors - are energy falling prices and continuing appreciation of USD/EUR. The dollar was quoted at 120.07/120.10 at the KASE day session at 12:52 p.m.; the last deal was concluded at 120.10. The dollar was quoted at 120.02/120.14 on over-the-counter. [2008-11-03]
