FOREX MARKET
The EUR/USD is traded in the 1.3230-1.3260 zone, as investors are awaiting the ISM data later as well as the FOMC
meeting. The market expects the Federal Reserve to keep rates flat at 5.25% this policy meeting, however the wording of
Bernanke will be essential, as investors are looking for clues regarding Fed's next move.
On the last forex session in 2006, RON recovered some of the losses posted on December 28th, as the National Bank kept
on hold the monetary policy rate at 8.75%. As a result, the EUR/RON was traded in the 3.3880-3.3730 zone, with some
investors closing their positions before the year-end, despite the increase in the real interest rate lately.
RON rebounded in the first trading day of 2007, as it started at 3.3390 level, due to strong off-shore interest for the wellyielding
emerging currency. Therefore, the Romanian currency touched a fresh four-year high in early trading, appreciating
up to 3.3370 level. However, the domestic currency could not hold its gains and weakened until 3.3900 zone. By noon time,
the pair reversed its move to the downside and stabilized in the 3.3500-3.3600 zone.
MONEY MARKET
On January 3rd, the ON interest rates started in the 6/7% zone and remained flat before the NBR announced the results to its
weekly depo auction. The National Bank decreased the allotment percentage to 8.5%, draining only a modest RON 1.2bln
from the Romanian interbank market. After the result, the short term rates declined sharly, reaching 2/5% zone.
