BRATISLAVA, June 19 (Reuters) - The Slovak crown held steady
against the euro on Tuesday, floating in sight of Monday's
two-week highs, and...
...analysts expected to see range trading for
the rest of the session.
At 0915 GMT, the crown was at 33.888 per euro ,
compared with Monday's two-week peak of 33.815 and a close of
33.880.
"The crown will keep following regional developments," CSOB
said in a note. "A slight firming could continue today, but we
rather bet on stabilisation of the rate near current levels."
The currency did not react to the release of jobless data,
which showed the rate falling to a record low of 8.33 percent in
May.
The crown had been under weakening pressure in recent weeks,
hit by rising expectations for higher interest rates globally.
But the unit recovered in the past two sessions as fears of
monetary tightening in the U.S. subsided.
