The morning growth of dollar's rate was the only interesting event at
Kazakhstan money market, which still remains calm and stable in every
respect. There is the only peculiarity, which is an unusual disposition of
banks at KASE, because lately there is no exact adherence of trades
participants, who form the conjuncture, for any kind of transactions (for USD
purchase or sale). Banks often change their positions at the stock exchange
and the increased volatility of dollar's rate and the seeming "nicety" of the
market is explained by it. However amplitude of rate fluctuations is not great
and occurs in a rather narrow price corridor.
Results of the day do not allow to say about appearance of any new
tendencies at the market. On Tuesday both growth of dollar rate and its
insignificant going down are equally probable.
