"I want a one-armed economist so that the guy could never make a statement and then say: but on the other
hand...." - Harry S. Truman
FOREX MARKET
On Tuesday, the USD consolidated even more against the euro, as the EUR/USD eroded the 1.1660 support and
moved forward until 1.1638, reaching the lowest level in the last two years. Up today we have the US CPI and
we expect to see a very low reading for October, both core and headline, as oil and gasoline fell off their peak. If
all these readings are low and energy prices are low for two months in a row, the market might begin to question
the intense focus on inflation. On November 16th, the EUR/USD bounced back modestly in a minor reversal
now that it is back above the 1.1700 level. Still, this only opens the way for higher probability of a bit more
upside toward 1.1800. If the pair falls below 1.1650 again, on the other hand, then the downside argument
toward 1.1500 resumes.
On November 15th, there was a rather fussy local forex trading, due to NBR's depo auction which had a
significant impact on the exchange rate. After the sterilization announcement was made, the EUR/RON fell
gradually from 3.6540 to 3.6200, the lowest as the selling orders dominated the trade. However, by the end of
the session, the euro recovered by 150 pips since yesterday's lowest level. On Wednesday, the trading session
was quiet, with no major changes since the opening level of 3.6350, as the EUR/RON climbed until 3.6450, the
most till noon.
MONEY MARKET
The interest rates for the short term deposits increased lately on the inter-bank market, due to the widening of the
amounts sterilized by the NBR. The ON yields stand in the 2-3% area today, however we expect that they will
continue the upward trend sustained by the Central Bank in the coming weeks.
