The dollar exchange rate in Peru began to drop this Monday, March 20, and was around S/3.7865, according to the Bloomberg currency listing portal.
The US currency had started the previous day, on Friday, at S/3.7905, and then climbed to the close of S/3.7930 reported by the Central Reserve Bank (BCRP).
This occurs while the Peruvian Government formalizes the second Leasing Bond of S/500 aimed at families affected by the mudslides in the Cieneguilla district. Before, it already happened in Lambayeque. This and other measures, such as the postponement of the payment of IR in affected areas, obey a package designed by the Executive to face the emergency on several fronts.
Internationally, the US Federal Reserve and five other central banks announced on Sunday coordinated action to increase liquidity in their standing dollar swap agreements.
The benchmark copper price on the London Metal Exchange (LME) was up 1% at $8,665 a tonne, after falling 3.2% last week.
Meanwhile, the price of WTI oil opened this Monday with a drop of 0.61%, up to US$ 66.33 a barrel, on a day in which the main Wall Street indices point to the rise despite the fact that the bank storm continues unremitting.
