"Take time to relax especially when you don't have time for it." - Sydney J Harris
FOREX MARKET
On Monday, the dollar managed to extent its gains against the euro, touching 1.3130 level, as the market expects the Federal
Reserve to keep rates on hold on December 12th and to remain vigilant on inflation. The yen was strongly shaken by the
weak data in Japan, fading expectations that BoJ could hike rates in December and sent yen to its lifetime low against the
euro on Tuesday. The rally of the greenback against the euro proved to be short-lived, as pair reversed its move to the upside
on Tuesday, ahead of FOMC meeting, being quoted in the 1.3240-1.3260 zone. The euro was stirred by Fed's former
chairman, Greenspan declared he expects more dollar weakness and encouraged central banks to diversify their reserves by
saying it is � imprudent to hold everything in one currency."
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 reached the
intraday high at 3.4350 level, as it was also affected by the lower short term yields on the interbank market.
On Tuesday, at the opening of the forex session, bids stood in the 3.4320-3.4330 zone. Afterwards, the Romanian currency
started to strengthen gradually, approaching the 3.4250 support zone, as it was sustained by bullish regional mood, despite
falling short term yields.
MONEY MARKET
On Monday, the NBR held its usual deposit auction and continued to send discouraging signals to speculative inflows, as it
decided to partially sterilize the excess liquidity. The allocation ratio diminished to 60% from last week's 79% of the overall
offer. NBR drained RON 3.16bln from the interbank market at the 8.75% fixed rate. The market was expecting that NBR
would refrain to withdraw the whole liquidity in an attempt to curb RON's sharp appreciation. As a result of NBR's new
attitude, the short term rates decreased to 5/7% for ON maturities and to 5.2/7% for one-week deposits.
