Notes: Best bid and offer prices at closing of the trades are shown as the
Exchange quotations.
By indicative interbank quotations of the dollar in REUTERS information
system, tenge lost 2 points in comparison with previous day closing on
demand and 1 points on supply of the American currency.
Today the conjuncture of the currency market did not bring any changes.
The market is still taken over by customers. It seems that banks reserve free
funds for new floatation of euronotes, which will take place at May 11.
Unusually high volume of repo operations is also proving this. Other sectors
of the financial market stay calm.
Dynamics of dollar quotations and prices do not differ from previous days.
The market is characterized by average operational volumes, usual spreads,
minimal price amplitude, lack of remarkable price trends and parity between
demand and supply sides, which created mostly through applications of
banks' clients. At this, quotations of shortest money are low and that is
illustrative for adequacy of free funds in tenge on the market.
Thursday IRBIS forecast - minimal strengthening of a dollar on the base
KASE session.
