On the other hand, the euro has experienced a notable appreciation this April, driven by the continued increase in business activity for the second consecutive month. While in the United States, data related to the services and manufacturing PMI were published, which have been lower than expectations. However, sales of new homes have shown a more solid performance, exceeding projections by reaching 693 thousand units, compared to the 668 thousand anticipated, explains Pérez.
So far this year, the dollar has accumulated a variation of 0.05% and in year-on-year terms, -1.41%, according to the BCRP.
