FOREX MARKET
On April 4th, the Romanian currency widened its rally against the euro, as the Easter celebrations attracted substantial
amounts of hard currencies in the country. Sustained sell-off in euro drove bids down to 3.3290 zone in late domestic
trading, as individuals purchased the domestic currency for consumption needs. Also, RON benefited from the
improvement of foreign investors towards emerging markets, especially that RON still holds a positive yield differential
to its regional peers.
On Thursday, the domestic market opened in the 3.3300 zone, but in less than one hour the selling pressure prevailed
and pushed the bids down to 3.3270 zone. However, towards noontime, the euro gained around 50 pips, weakened by
mixed regional mood of off-shore investors and stabilized in the 3.3330 zone.
The greenback came under pressure on Wednesday, after the US ISM data came out worse than expected. The
Service sector slowed down to a four-year low in March and fueled expectations that Fed would resort to rate cuts later
this year. Therefore, the EUR/USD rallied up to 1.3380 zone yesterday. On Tuesday, the pair is traded in the 1.3360
area in mid-European session, as investors seem reluctant in taking new positions ahead of Friday's Non-Farm
Payrolls.
MONEY MARKET
On Thursday, the ON maturities are traded in the 7.3/7.7% zone, as liquidity remains high. Today, the Minster of
Finance will issue five-year benchmark bonds carrying a coupon rate of 6.5% and the issued amount stands at RON
1.5bln. We expect that the auction would be oversubscribed, as the interest for Romanian treasury bills remains high.
