The decline of the dollar in Peru occurs in a global context where the greenback presents a mixed evolution: although it strengthened against the yen driven by expectations that the US Senate will approve an agreement for the reopening of the federal government, its advance against the euro and the pound has remained limited due to the expectation of new economic data and signs of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed).
The analysts’ interpretation is that the improvement in investor expectations due to the proximity of an agreement to reopen the US government acts as a catalyst for the movement of flows towards risk assets and currencies other than the dollar, which relieves pressure on the greenback in the country. At the same time, the possibility of greater fiscal spending in the US derives a perception of global growth, which favors emerging currencies such as the sol.
So far this year, the dollar price has accumulated a drop of 10.4%.
