"If money was meant to be held on to, they would have made it with handles." - old poker saying
FOREX MARKET
The European currency rallied as high as 1.2140 on Wednesday as the players on the international market are
pricing in a halt in the hiking policy of the Federal Reserve starting March. The pair retraced in Asia after
euros recent gains, but we expect the downside to be limited to a test of 1.2050. We keep the resistance level
at 1.2200 as it hasnt been broken yet. We favour that the EUR would soar until 1.2500 in the coming days.
The EUR/RON remained in the rangebound area, as it went up and downwards between 3.6700-3.6800 levels
during Wednesdays trading session. However, we could notice a slight depreciation of the domestic currency
during yesterdays trade as the players seem to be more interested in purchasing the euro. At the opening, the
EUR/RON was quoted at 3.6740 and towards noon the pair climbed until 3.6850 level. For the rest of the
trade, we see the euro weaker, as the RON will be sustained by the depo auction organized by the NBR.
MONEY MARKET
On January 5th, the overnight interest rates decreased slightly to 4-6% on the domestic inter-bank market. As
soon as the NBR announced liquidity draining, the rates moved higher by one percentage point.
