At a global level, a stronger dollar was seen in the morning due to positive expectations about US monetary policy, since today the president of the Fed, Jerome Powell, gave a speech in the Congress of that country.
“However, at the close of the market it fell back, because Powell was very reserved regarding US monetary policy and one of the comments he maintained is that it is likely that in the following months the interest rate will continue to rise “Perez stressed.
