"Statistics are like prisoners under torture: with the proper tweaking you can get them to confess to anything" - John Rothchild,
author of "Survive & Profit in Ferocious Markets"
FOREX MARKET
The EUR/RON has opened yesterday at 3.5200 and for the rest of the day has traded in a narrow range, between 3.5180 and 3.5300.
Despite trading for most of the day above 3.5250, the Euro lost steam towards the end of the session and closed at RON 3.5190.
Today the market has opened directly at 3.5270, as yesterday's late drop occurred on the back of very low activity. The day high was set in
the opening minutes at 3.5280 and afterwards sellers have taken advantage of the opening levels and the pair has dropped briefly to
3.5200. Presently, the Euro is bided at 3.5230.
It is likely that in the short run the Euro will trade in a 3.50-3.55 range. The reason is the dominance of commercial flows in the present
market. Speculative trading should resume once there will be more data regarding inflationary pressures in the developed markets,
particularly the US.
Lacking any news in European trading yesterday, the Euro had made a new week high against the Dollar, at 1.2979. For most of the day
however, the pair traded in a range between 1.2920 and 1.2960, awaiting statements from a Central Bankers gathering taking place in the
US. In the middle of American trading, Fed chief Bernanke suggested that inflation in the United States threatens to break the upper
interval of the range envisaged by the Fed Board. This perspective makes a further increase of the Fed's Fund Rate to 5.25% more likely,
and therefore the EUR/USD dropped to 1.2890 following the comments. Today the Euro has managed to regain some of the lost ground,
and trades at USD 1.2930.
MONEY MARKET
