The economist for Peru of BBVA Research, Hugo Perea, held Peru21 That since last year the behavior of the green ticket has been mainly associated with external factors. According to Perea: “First he fluctuated for the perspectives of changes in the interest rate of the Federal Reserve; Secondly, for the elections in the United States and then with Donald Trump’s tariff measures. ”
He said that tariff policies announced by Trump have been generating in the exchange markets uncertainty, which has fed volatility.
“Suddenly today they make an ad (of tariffs) and the markets are defensive. Then, the US says something else and the tent is corrected, ”Perea said.
According to the economist, the volatility of the dollar has to do with the implications that a commercial war could have on trade, where the tariff is being used as a pressure mechanism.

Perea also stressed that, although Peru is not immune to a commercial war because it is a small and open economy, for now volatility has not been reflected in the local exchange market.
For example, on Monday, one day after Trump tariffs to Canada, China and Mexico, the Sun was appreciated in 22 thousandths (0.022), while yesterday it depreciated in 7 thousandths (0.007).
According to Perea, this impact on the local currency is due to the fact that the external accounts of the country are very solid, which helps to contain external pressures.
“Having a surplus (current account and balance of payments) gives you space to face volatility,” he concluded.
