"I think appreciating risk, being aware of it and respecting it, makes you a good trader. It teaches you to be
disciplined. Discipline allows you to trade effectively." - Larry Rosenberg
FOREX MARKET
The EUR/USD has lost the downside momentum for now and could be due for a short-term consolidation
higher. If the 1.2000 minor resistance falls, the consolidation could take it to the higher 1.2050 resistance area.
A strong move through the 1.1925 base, on the other hand, could open way for a move toward the 1.1800
area. There will be no US data of interest until tomorrow's Trade Balance number.
Yesterday, the Romanian currency followed a steep appreciation on the back of the rumours regarding a
possible hike of the key monetary policy which was eventually confirmed later. In the past few days, it
increased the volatility of the quotes, as only on Wednesday the pair lost 300 pips, falling from 3.5860. The
Administration Board of NBR decided to increase the monetary policy rate by 100 bps to 8.5% as well as the
predictability of their open market operations by organizing depo auctions every Monday.
Also, the NBR tightened again the lending restrictions, as it widened the forex reserve ratio from 35% to 40%
as of March 24th. On Thursday, the EUR/RON stands in the 3.5550-3.5450 area, however there is still room
for further appreciation of the RON until 3.5300 level in the next weeks.
MONEY MARKET
The overnight interest rates remained high in the 8-9.5% levels, due to latest NBR's regulations. The National
Bank announced 3M CD auction today, however they did not drain anything, although the offer of the
commercial banks stood at RON 2.34bln.
