Against the US dollar, the leu’s indicative retreated 0.2% to 3.2852 units.
The leu opened at 4.533 per euro, down from 4.513/4.515 per euro at Monday close, but strengthened toward 4.52 units in early action, amid a slightly positive sentiment in the region after Russian President Vladimir Putin pulled out troops deployed for a military drill in western Russia.
Following the news, the leu’s neighbors recovered some of yesterday’s losses, though the Crimea region in Ukraine remains under Russian military control.
In the money market, overnight rates were at 2.2%-2.7% a year.
