Midday Forex: EUR/RON hovers near 4.1090
The leu traded held broadly steady in a narrow range in the morning, hovering near 4.1090 units/euro with no clear direction, as its peers in the region had a lower start against euro, followed by a firmer performance in the remainder of the day.
The central bank set a reference rate of 4.1092 lei/euro, up 0.09% from yesterday’s rate of 4.1054 lei/euro. In the interbank market, the leu teetered between 4.1050 and 4.1135 units/euro.
“The leu is hovering near a psychological barrier that is difficult to break through. The other currencies in the region have been more volatile due to a series of macroeconomic data,” a dealer told NewsIn.
