The price of the US dollar in Peru opened higher on Tuesday, amid renewed concerns about the increase in COVID cases in China.
The exchange rate operates at S/ 3.84 per dollar, an advance of 0.33% compared to Monday’s close, according to the Bloomberg agency.
So far this year, the greenback accumulates a decline of 0.95% compared to the last price of 2021, at S / 3,991.
On the other hand, in the parallel market or the main exchange houses, the dollar is bought at S/ 3.83 and sold at S/ 3.86, according to data from the portal cuantoestaeldolar.pe.
The currencies of Latin America operated unevenly, in the midst of a significant advance in the dollar in global markets, which was used as a safe haven currency due to renewed concerns about the increase in COVID cases in China.
The bulk of the stock markets, meanwhile, operated with profits. The dollar rose against a basket of six major currencies on Monday as rising COVID-19 cases in China triggered new restrictions in that country and weighed on global investor sentiment.
China is battling numerous coronavirus outbreaks. Two deaths were reported in Beijing last Sunday and the city’s most populous district urged residents to stay home on Monday. The new cases have cast doubt on hopes that the government can soon ease its tough restrictions. This has boosted the dollar, which is seen as a safe asset in times of stress.
