The leu fell against the US dollar as well and the indicative reached 3.3625 units, versus 3.3556 units in the previous session.
The leu edged lower against the euro Tuesday morning, tracking its neighbors, and traded near 4.375 units in the first half of the day, amid reduced liquidity. Yesterday, the currency lost 0.3% versus the euro, amid a negative sentiment in the region following actions of the new head of the Hungarian central bank to consolidate his authority.
In the money market, overnight rates were at 4.5%-5% a year, slightly down on the day.
