Ukraine's currency strengthened on Tuesday as banks and dealers adapted to a new central bank system to support it and ignored comments about the IMF and the culpability of the central bank in the hryvnia's previous fall. The central bank sold dollars to a starved market at a minimum price of 8.25 hryvnias at its first auction since announcing on Monday that it would cease intervening at a fixed rate, as it had been doing three times a week since January.
