FOREX MARKET
On January 27th, the market sent us clear signals that it is concentrating more on the future macro-economical
prospectus of the US and the rate differentials, not on the past data, as the poor US GDP growth did not affect
the greenback. Therefore, the USD enforced late on Friday and came back in the 1.2080 area. This week we
have a key FOMC meeting on Tuesday night, then the ISM Manufacturing and Non-manufacturing and
Employment data and the Iran situation. The EUR/USD reversed back into the old 1.2050 to 1.2150 range,
and may continue lower for a test of 1.2000 in the short term.
Lately, the Romanian currency gained ground against the euro due to NBR's substantial intervention which
managed to reduce the surplus on the money market. The pair became rangebound in the 3.6150-3.6250 area,
on the back of large sales coming from corporate clients for the end-month usual payments and due to the
recent high interests for the RON deposits.
MONEY MARKET
The overnight interest rates remained in the 7-8.5% area on Monday, as the demand of the commercial banks
for the RON is still high. However, we expect that the short-term rates would decrease several percentage
points by the end of the week.
