Factors influencing the market were the same as yesterday's. However, purchaser's morning reluctance to buy resulted in unsatisfied supply dominating at market. In the afternoon, sellers reduced greenback offerings, thereby inducing a bounce. Up movement could have been more confident though, but the majority of clients' orders was most likely executed in the morning. A weak roll back can also be explained by the fact that dealers were locking in their daily profits all week long. Shift of participant's interests towards other sectors brought about the same effect. It therefore can be inferred that tenge has been inspired with new highs. IRBIS forecast for Monday: positioned trades with minimum change in rate. [2004-03-26]
