"Enron: Strong buy." - The rating maintained by Lehman Brothers as Enron's stock declined from $81 to $0.75 due to a policy of the
firm of not changing the rating on any company involved in a deal in which Lehman was an adviser.
FOREX MARKET
On Friday the EUR/RON has taken another shot at the 3.50 support zone. The pair opened at 3.5320 and was sold constantly to 3.5060.
Players counted on a return of the market back to below 3.49 once the regional move of exiting emerging markets ceased. In the second
half of the trading session however, the Euro was bought back to 3.52, where the market closed.
Today the market has opened in a more calm mood than lately, with the opening at 3.52 and even some selling to 3.5170 in the first
hour. This state of things was, however, only apparent, as in the next hour the Euro surged more than 400pips, as probably non-resident
investors further closed their RON positions and banks rode the buying wave. The maximum was 3.5630, the same as last week's,
which looks now more likely to fall taking into account the amplitude of the current move.
This selling of the Leu comes amid a similar move on most emerging markets, best seen on the FX and capital markets of Turkey or
India.
The US dollar seems the be reaping the benefits of the above trend, as it has strengthen in the past days versus major currencies and
emerging market currencies as well. The EUR/USD has recommenced its slide on Friday, going from 1.2870 to 1.2692. The pair then
threaded water for most of the Asian session today and afterwards hit again the 1.2690-1.27 support zone, only to be denied again. The
Euro stands now at 1.2740.
MONEY MARKET
RON O/N rates have increased from 1/4% on Friday to 3/6% on average today. Although this is the second last day of the minimum
reserve period, banks have anticipated a possible depo auction by the NBR and have, as a result, increased their prices.
