U.S. dollar rises amid global economic tensions and political change in Argentina
The US dollar experienced a notable increase in its recent session.
This surge wasn’t primarily influenced by the pressures from Treasuries, as seen in prior sessions.
Contributing factors to the dollar’s rise included worrisome economic signals from China and growing doubt about the local economic plan’s approval.
Additionally, Argentina’s shifting political landscape, marked by the emergence of not traditional presidential candidates, played a role.
By the end of the trading day, the US dollar showed a 0.43% increase, closing at R$4.9868. It fluctuated between a low of R$ 4.9597 and a peak of R$ 4.9977.
This marks the ninth rise out of 11 trading sessions in August.
Around 5:10 pm, most of the 33 most liquid currencies tracked by financial analysts saw a decline against the dollar.
The projected US dollar value for September showed a 0.46% gain at R$ 5.0040.
Meanwhile, the DXY index, which evaluates the US dollar’s strength against six currencies from developed markets, recorded a modest 0.02% uptick, at 103.209 points.
