"The entire essence of America is the hope to first make money, then make money with money, then make
lots of money with lots of money." - Paul Erdman
FOREX MARKET
The European currency began 2006 in force, as on Tuesday the EUR/USD was traded at 1.1909 the most,
during Asian session. However we look for a break of 1.1930 to take this pair into the bullish territory. The
pair still lacks a sense of direction and it could be influenced by any of the daily momentum indicators. The
calendar holds very interesting data today, starting off with German unemployment this morning and then US
Construction spending, ISM manufacturing and even more interesting the FOMC minutes. The market will
be focusing on the FOMC minutes to find signals on Feds future interest rates policy.
The Romanian currency ended the year firmer vs. the EUR, as the EUR/RON rate fell from 3.6940 to 3.6700,
due to substantial hard currency inflows. On January 3rd, the local forex market opened at 3.6830, then the
quotes for the EUR/RON decreased until 3.6640. By noon, the exchange rate stabilized in 3.6700 area,
however we expect that the RON will continue to enforce vs. the hard currencies in the next days.
MONEY MARKET
On January 3rd, the ON interest rates decreased slightly to 4-7% levels, as during the last NBR auction the
allotment percent stood at only 55%.
