After the U.S. midterm elections, the dollar weakened and U.S. Treasury yields fell as markets anticipated greater political gridlock and less fiscal borrowing. A market analyst said the move could support Peru’s sol and emerging markets, while Peruvian agro-exporters and textile businesses remain exposed to possible changes in U.S. trade policy.
A weaker dollar can support the sol and improve the price competitiveness of imports, while uncertainty over U.S. trade policy may affect Peruvian export demand. The reported dollar move points lower for DXY and USDPEN.
After 1,637 past bearish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
