Dollar price in Peru: what is the exchange rate today, Wednesday, June 29

The price of the US dollar in Peru was on the rise in the informal or parallel market today, Wednesday, June 29, 2022. The exchange rate rose to S/ 3,750 for purchase and S/ 3,790 for sale, according to exchange houses in Lima.

On the other hand, in the interbank market, the greenback closed at S/ 3,789, according to data provided by the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCR).

So far this year, the greenback accumulates a decline of 5.06% compared to the last price of 2021, at 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, Latin American currencies were mixed on Tuesday while the bulk of the stock markets registered gains, amid better prospects for the world economy, after China decided to relax some of the quarantine requirements for entry to the country by COVID-19.

“The decision adopted by China to slightly relax the measures taken due to the coronavirus pandemic opens up hope for greater growth in the second largest global economy and, therefore, in the economy in general, since it should reactivate the demand for raw materials. ”, said an operator.

According to Reuters, China cut the quarantine time for travelers arriving in the country from abroad in half on Tuesday, in a major easing of some of the world’s strictest restrictions against COVID-19, which has deterred trips in and out of the country since 2020.

Quarantine in centralized facilities has been reduced from 14 to 7 days, while subsequent health control at home has been reduced from 7 to 3 days, according to the Chinese National Health Commission.

However, the advance of the currencies of the region was limited due to a global advance of the dollar, whose index, which measures the US currency against a basket of six major currencies, climbed around 0.4%.
