"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

FOREX MARKET
The greenback got a boost against the euro on Friday, due to robust job growth in US and rising Nonfarm Payrolls. The encouraging data about US labour market cooled down expectations that the Federal Reserve will resort to rate cuts in the next months, as inflationary pressures are likely to maintain in Q1 2007. The EUR/USD tested the 1.3200 support level in late Friday trading, falling from 1.3300-1.3330 zone. On Monday, the dollar widened its rally, breaking the 1.3200 support zone, and reached 1.3130 level.

On Friday, the Romanian currency oscillated in a tight range between 3.4230-3.4300 levels without any clear direction amid modest transacted volumes. The off-shore investors stood on sidelines, as they were waiting for the US job report to decide on their position regarding emerging markets.
On December 11th, the domestic forex market opened at 3.4250 level and started an upward move, as investors fear that NBR will continue to discourage the speculative inflows, by leave excess liquidity in the market. The pair rose as high as 3.4320 level by noontime, affected also by the lower short term yields on the interbank market. We expect that the domestic currency will reverse its trend to the upwards, as we believe that NBR will persist in assuring a soft lending to the local currency.

MONEY MARKET
On Monday, the ON maturities remained still in the 7.5/8.5% zone, as the commercial banks are pricing in that NBR will continue to partially sterilize the excess liquidity.
