Thursday, the Czech Koruna edged slightly higher from a 2-day
low of 17.5240 against the US dollar after the nation's central
bank decided to maintain its key interest rates for a sixth
consecutive time.
As widely expected, the board decided to leave the two-week repo
rate unchanged at 0.75%. The discount rate was retained at 0.25%
and the Lombard rate at 1.75%.
The domestic currency has been in an upward channel against the
greenback so far this year. The Czech currency has appreciated
almost 10 percent since January 10 to reach nearly a 3-month high
of 17.3190 yesterday.
The dollar-koruna pair that finished Wednesday's deals at
17.4625 is presently quoted at 17.49. On the upside, 17.0 is seen
as the next likely resistance level for the Czech currency.
