"The leu further gained against the euro, mirroring the emerging markets. Several foreign investors placed many foreign currency-buying orders in the second part of the trade, strengthening the leu.

Thus, the traded volumes were over the average of a usual trade," a dealer said.

On the money market, overnight rates were at 9.58% - 10.08% on the year.

The central bank computed an indicative daily average rate of the leu at RON3.5934 to the euro, touching a two-and-a-half-month high, and RON2.2861 against the US dollar.
