The session almost has not brought anything new to Kazakhstan currency market. The conjuncture is unchanged. Most traders today were working "in one direction" - either only for purchase or only for sale of USD. Closing of brief short positions can support dollar a bit in the afternoon. However it is hardly able to turn the market to falling or stabilize this factor's effect.

One hour after closing of the morning session out of stock exchange dollar was quoted at KZT132.13/19, two hours later quotations did not change. At the day trades of KASE at 1:00 p.m. dollar was quoted at 132.15/16, the last deal was made at 132.15.
