Dollar in Peru: what is the exchange rate today, Thursday, March 31

The price of the US dollar in Peru was trading lower in the informal or parallel market today, Thursday, March 31, 2022. The exchange rate fell to S/ 3,705 for purchase and S/ 3,740 for sale, according to exchange houses in Lima.

On the other hand, in the interbank market, the greenback closed at S/ 3,710, according to data provided by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCR).

The monetary entity detailed that the dollar has a decline of 7.04% so far in 2022, compared to the result recorded at the end of last year (S / 3,991).

The foreign currency registered an appreciation of 10.28% at the end of 2021 due to the impact of political uncertainty and doubts about the economic outlook due to the new variants of the coronavirus.

At the regional level, the currencies and stock markets of Latin America showed a mixed behavior at the close of operations on Wednesday, amid a global decline in the dollar, and with the markets attentive to the negotiations for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, albeit with an atmosphere of caution.

According to the Reuters agency, the dollar depreciated to a low of almost two weeks on Wednesday, when optimism about the peace talks between Russia and Ukraine faded and the attention of investors was focused on economic data and expectations around to interest rates.

The dollar index, which compares the greenback to a basket of six currencies, traded 0.57% lower at 97.861 in New York afternoon, having earlier hit its lowest level since March 17.

Much of the decline was due to the strength of the euro, which rebounded on Tuesday following Russia’s promise during peace talks to scale back its attacks on kyiv.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin on Wednesday welcomed the fact that kyiv had put in writing its demands to end the conflict in Ukraine, but said there was still no sign of a breakthrough.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov told reporters that Russia had not seen anything really promising or that looked like progress, saying there was a long period of work ahead.
