By the indicative dollar quotations in the REUTERS information system, tenge in comparison with the previous day closing on dollar demand and supply has lost 4 points.

All after-dinner market is specified stabilization by(with) a tenge. And, as approaching the end of day, quotation and the prices of dollar were gradually reduced.

Judge by the day results the exchange market getting stable. After morning's dollar rate growth, caused by increase of the official dollar rate, tenge inclined to strengthening. It is possible that it is explained by some decreasing in the banks short-term liquidity, as the shortest money quotations by the evening have grown in the interbank to 8/12 p.a. from 4/10 p.a. in the morning.
