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 currencies and stock markets in Latin America closed with losses on Thursday, at the end of a difficult semester for risk assets, due to renewed fears of a global recession as a result of monetary tightening to face sustained inflation.

According to the Reuters agency, the heads of the US Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England met in Portugal this week and expressed their firm commitment to control inflation regardless of the cost to economic growth.

In the midst of this scenario, the three main Wall Street indices suffered a severe blow. The S&P 500 posted its biggest first-half percentage drop since 1970, the Nasdaq posted its biggest percentage drop in its history between January and June, while the Dow Jones suffered its biggest first-half percentage drop since 1962.
