"Speculation is an effort, probably unsuccessful, to turn a little money into a lot. Investment is an effort, which should be
successful, to prevent a lot of money becoming a little." - Fred Schwed, "Where are The Customers' Yachts?"
FOREX MARKET
Yesterday, the EUR/RON has opened lower at 3.5050, with an 80 pips gap from the previous close. Buyers however appeared to
take advantage of the 5-day low and, after making a minimum at 3.5030, the Euro was bought to 3.5200. The market closed at
3.5120.
Today buying resumes as the pair advances another 120 pips, to 3.5250, after opening at 3.5130. The EUR/RON was quoted in the
first trading hour at 3.5210 the highest, and now a new wave of buying takes it 40 pips higher. As anticipated, the 3.50-3.52 zone
is appealing to most potential buyers, commercial and financial.
After a quiet Monday, when the US and British markets have been closed for holiday, and the EUR/USD has ranged between
1.2730 and 1.2770, the pair has catched up with yesterday's economic developments and surged in Asian trading to 1.2820. Euro
buying continues in European trading, with the day high standing at 1.2867. Today's US consumer confidence index is
instrumental in the evolution of the EUR/USD. The upside risk is for an extension of the current rise above 1.29, while if the data
shows growing confidence on the part of the US consumers, the pair can return below 1.2790, the retracement of the latest move.
MONEY MARKET
On the Romanian money market, O/N interest rates are at the same 8/9% average. At yesterday's 1M depo auction, the NBR has
borrowed RON 2.4 billion from the commercial banks at an 8.5% rate.
