"Our greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith
FOREX MARKET
On November 29th, the euro hit a fresh 20M high at 1.3218 level against the dollar, as investors seem encouraged by the
relaxed attitude of EZ finance ministers towards the excessive appreciation of the euro. The market is strongly pricing in
further tightening in the Euro Zone, while the Federal Reserve is seen as cutting rates in the coming months, the more so as
the recent US economic indicators failed to offer support for the dollar. On Thursday, the euro maintained the gains made so
far, as it is traded in the 1.3180-1.3200 zone with strong upside bias, ahead of important data from US.
The Romanian currency continued to rally yesterday also triggered by bullish regional mood. The single currency reached
intraday high at 3.4650 at the beginning of trading session. Afterwards the euro slipped gradually until 3.4550 zone, on back
of massive off-shore interest towards the Romanian currency, which is also sustained by high ON yields nearing NBR's
reference rate.
On November 30th, the domestic forex market opened at 3.4570 level which seems to be intraday high, as RON started
another rollercoaster ride and broke the psychological support at 3.4500. The off-shore players taking short positions on
EUR/RON drove the pair down to 3.4440 level by noontime, reaching 15M high. We expect the 3.4400 support zone to
hold on today, as the corporate hard currency purchases should be smoothening RON's appreciation.
MONEY MARKET
The ON interbank interest rates decreased slightly to 8/8.7% zone, as a 1M deposit worth RON 1.35bln at NBR reached
maturity today, although commercial banks are keeping surplus reserves at the beginning of reserve period. On December
1st, Romania is celebrating the National Day, therefore the financial markets will be closed.
