FOREX MARKET
On May 24th, the Romanian currency maintained in recent ranges, despite the bearish mood of investors towards
emerging markets. The single currency was quoted at 3.2730 level at the opening of domestic forex trading which seems
quite well bided as the exchange rate moved less than 30 pips in either direction amid modest transacted volumes.
On Friday, the domestic forex market opened started at 3.2780 level and held within this zone in the first part of the
session. It is likely that the Romanian currency could extend its losses against the hard currencies next week, whether
the National Bank refuses to drain the extra liquidity from the Romanian money market.
The greenback consolidated its recent gains against the euro yesterday in the 1.3420-1.3440 area, on back of strong
housing data in US, reinforcing the view that the Federal Reserve might keep rates on hold at 5.25% until the end of the
year. US new home sales in April rose at their fastest pace in the last 14 years, while the durable goods report, an
important capital spending indicator, increased less than expected after the previous month's readings had been revised
sharply upwards. On Friday early European trading, the dollar is holding up in the 1.3430 zone; later today players will be
watching the US existing home sales report.
MONEY MARKET
On Thursday, the overnight maturities recovered in the proximity of the monetary policy rate, respectively in the 7/8%
zone, as a new reserve period has started. However, in the second part of trading session, the ON interest rates
diminished slightly to 6/7% bids/asks, as the commercial banks started to price in the possibility that NBR could refrain
from sterilizing the excess liquidity on Monday. On May 25th, the overnight interest rates remained flat in the 6/7% zone,
despite RON 1.9bln are to return to the Central Bank today from the one-week repo auction.
