"Buy land. They're not making it any more." - Mark Twain
FOREX MARKET
Although lately the NBR has stated that it favors higher RON interest rates, the signals have failed so far to
offer support to the local currency and subsequently to the current disinflation process. On Friday the
EUR/RON market opened at 3.6330, briefly descended below 3.63 to make a bottom at 3.6280 and in the after
noon strong buying took the pair to 3.6430-3.6440. The day closed at 3.6400. Today the Euro has been valued
at 3.6400-3.6420 for most of the day. The European currency is well supported so far at 3.64.
The Euro climbed on Friday to two-week highs against the dollar as Jean-Claude Trichet, the head of the
European Central Bank, said that the ECB is ready to raise the interest rate for the Euro. The statement comes
after the Euro-zone inflation has recently outpaced the 2% inflation target of the Central Bank. The EUR/USD
jumped in one hour from below 1.1700 to 1.1790. The rate then hit the 1.1700 support again and the stabilized
at 1.1760. Today the Euro, passed the 1.1800 resistance and looks set to test 1.1870 in the short run.
MONEY MARKET
Yields for O/N RON deposits remain at 1.5% on todays inter-bank money market. Although the bids on the
market look stronger than in the last days, interest rates both on the inter-bank and the clients markets remain
low as bankers are waiting for the Central Bank to show more commitment towards sterilizing the RON
surplus.
