The National Bank yesterday intervened on the market to buy foreign currency for lei, PhD Sveatoslav Mihalache, the director of the portal Financial Brains, has told Info-Prim Neo. According to Mihalache, the physical amount of dollars decreased slightly, with the US currency being traded among banks at 11.2450 – 11.2650 lei. Today the exchange facilities will buy dollars at 11.14 – 11.17 lei and will sell at 11.24 – 11.27 lei. After a spectacular appreciation on Friday the euro attempted a correction yesterday. Today the European currency will trade on the international market within a corridor with its lower limit at $1.3510 and the upper limit at $1.3700. Mihalache thinks that the main resistance level, situated at the $1.3737, is virtually unsurmountable, as it resisted a host of attempts in the first half of March. If this height resists, the euro is likely to return to the previous levels of $1.34 – $1.33. In Moldova the rates for the euro will be at around 15.10 – 15.15 lei (bid) and 15.33 – 15.38 (ask).
