of Kazakhstan secondary market in October of 2004 has equaled to 93.9%, in September of 2004 - 95.9%. October's repo market was unusual at KASE. Turnover's structure has not changed relative to Septemberbut volume of deals has considerably grown, and dynamics of rates was not traditional. Specialists of IRBIS think it occurred, first of all, because of events at country's currency market, where banks sold the record high for Kazakhstan volume of dollars. Tenges, which they earned, formed the excessive liquidity at the financial market, which National Bank partially tied by issuing notes and at KASE's automatic repo market. As a result stock exchange's repo market activated and "overnight" rates fell to historic minimums. Weighted average size of TONIA has equaled to 0.74% APR (in September - 1.89% APR), and yield of separate repo transactions in GS did not exceed 0.1% APR in October. The excessive tenge liquidity of the market has broken the usual rhythm of rates changing. Before the curve of TONIA reached maximum in the end of the second ten-day period of each month, but in October this regularity was absent at all. Period of budget payments has not influenced upon behavior of this indicator, which tended to falling during the whole month. Forecast of November's market is tightly connected with the forecast of events at the currency market. Analysts of IRBIS see no factors able to change the conjuncture of the currency market. So it follows that volume of the repo market at KASE, most probably, will grow, and rates behavior will be very similar with the previous month's dynamics. [2004-11-03]
