No foreign exchange transactions were effected at NASDAQ OMX Armenia Stock Exchange on Monday because all the players at financial market shifted their attention to the auction where central bank offered 39-week AMGT39167125 treasury government bonds worth AMD 1.5 billion, Mikael Verdyan, an analyst at Forex Club, said answering ARKA News agency’s question.
The second factor deterring players from effecting forex deals was a wide gap between demand and supply.
Today’s demand for one dollar was 376.01 drams, and supply 378 drams.
