Everything was like in two previous months. Traders tried to swing the market i.e. test it for the possibility of any changes. The tests gave negative result because all attempts before the noon faced the firm support of dollar. As the result, in the afternoon USD's rate did not change. It should be noted that traders did no serious speculative actions that also promotes to price stability of Kazakhstan market of US dollar. Judging on all, traders expect change of National Bank's attitude towards dollar rate. Only this factor, in the opinion of analysts of IRBIS, can result in any considerable changes in the nearest future. [2005-01-05]
