Notes: Best bid and ask prices at closing of the trades are shown as the
Exchange quotations. In case of absence those in the KASE trade system the
last quotations are shown, which are marked with an asterisk (in this table -
at 5:00PM USD_TOM). Due to the technical reasons, there were no dollar
quotations in the REUTERS quoting system.
Today the dollar exchange market was not so active, as it was in the
previous days. The big dollar offer presented on the Exchange in the
previous week, disappeared on the basic trades. Most likely, just this fact
forced traders to refrain from active actions both before dinner, and in the
second half of day. Such behavior is rather typical for the moments of
change in the market tendencies.
Additional trades KASE with the TOD accounts have shown rather big
activity at their volume of $1,7 million, that is 8 times more than the basic
session turnover. In results of trade small dollar rate decrease have been
recorded, however there were no expressed tendencies. The dollar price
fluctuations have not exceeded 2 points.
The trades with forward accounts have not show tendencies also. Dollar rate
established by the trade results has appeared by 3 points below than results
of the morning trade and somewhat exceeded parameters of the additional
session closing.
In result of the current situation analysis it is possible to say that on the
next morning exchange trades the rate of dollar will incline to reduction.
