Dollar in Peru: what is the exchange rate today, Thursday, April 28

The price of the US dollar in Peru was on the rise in the informal or parallel market today, Wednesday, April 27, 2022. The exchange rate rose to S/ 3,810 for purchase and S/ 3,840 for sale, according to exchange houses in Lima.

On the other hand, in the interbank market, the greenback closed at S/ 3,830, according to data provided by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCR).

The monetary entity detailed that the dollar has a decline of 4.03% 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, most of the currencies of Latin America fell on Wednesday amid an advance of the dollar at a global level, while the bulk of the regional stock markets rebounded after two days of sharp falls, although fears for the economy continued to weigh on investor sentiment.

According to the Reuters agency, the dollar index, which compares the greenback against a basket of six main currencies, climbed around 0.8%, while the euro sank to five-year lows.

The euro fell below $1.06 on Wednesday for the first time in five years, against a strengthening US currency amid growing concerns about energy security and slowing growth in China and Europe.

The single currency has fallen more than 4% so far in April and is headed for its worst monthly loss in more than seven years, as uncertainty surrounding the war in Ukraine and lockdown measures in China have led to traders to dump the euro in favor of the dollar as a safe haven.

“China lockdown fears have exaggerated the downside risk for the euro/dollar,” said Jane Foley, head of currency strategy at Rabobank London.
