FOREX MARKET
The greenback continued to decline against the euro, on back of worsening concerns about the US mortgage market
after major US subprime lenders had gone bankrupt due to increasing defaults. Also, yesterday's US Retail Sales
numbers for February came out unexpectedly weak and fueled expectations that the American economy might be
slowing down in the next quarters. Therefore, the EUR/USD rallied up to 1.3220 resistance zone on Tuesday. In mid-
European trading on March 14th, the pair is traded in the 1.3200 zone, as investors are waiting for the US mortgage
data to decide whether shorting their USD positions.
On March 13th, the Romanian forex market opened flat at 3.3670 level, but gradually the pair underwent an upside
move until 3.3750 zone, driven by the dovish regional mood of investors which seem reluctant to risk lately. However,
the single currency could not keep the gains, and turned back to 3.3700 zone, where it closed the session.
On Wednesday, important buying orders had driven the opening bids higher by 150 pips as compared to closing levels,
respectively to 3.3850 area. However within a couple of minutes, the sellers made their appearance taking advantage
of the high exchange rates and pushed the pair down to 3.3750 area by noontime. We expect that the EUR/RON
would consolidate in the 3.3800 zone in the second part of the trading, moving in either way no more than 50 pips.
MONEY MARKET
The overnight deposits are traded for 7.7/8.5% bids/asks, as the liquidity on the interbank market remains rather low in
the second half of the mandatory reserve period. Yesterday, the Minister of Finance intended to drain liquidity from the
market for one-week period. MF canceled the auction, probably because the bids of the banks exceeded their
expectation, but announced another 1W deposit auction today.
