Forecasts by IRBIS for Tuesday - possible insignificant dollar's rate increase. Forecast is based on factors that are worthy noting such as low repo "overnight" rates and high demand during MEOKAM offering. There are excess idle funds at market. However, major banks did not support dollar's appreciation that outlined at KASE in the second half of the day by influencing demand. The day at interbank has closed neutrally relative to Friday indexes.
