¿Estará el DOLAR en alza?

Economical News

DOLAR ESTADOUNIDENSE

Ayer, el DOLAR perdió terreno contra la mayoría de las divisas, retrocediendo con respecto a las alzas que no registraba hace 8 meses. El DOLAR se vio afectado por un aumento del valor del petróleo, junto con las preocupaciones del sector financiero americano; y cayó fuertemente, cosa que no se observaba hace 5 meses. El DOLAR rondó los 104.14 contra el YEN y contra el EURO los 1.4906 desde los 1.4742 del miércoles.

Al comienzo de la sesión el DOLAR había ganado terreno contra el EURO y el YEN, ya que el Jobless Claims había caído a 432k, y el Business Index había alcanzado los -12.7, con respecto a los -16.3 de julio. Sin embargo, dadas las dudas con respecto a Fannie Mae y Freddie Mac, el DOLAR cayó. Los operadores están siguiendo de cerca a estos dos gigantes, y cómo el gobierno intervendrá a dichas compañías.

Para hoy no se aguardan datos significativos desde los Estados Unidos. Solo está programado un discurso del presidente de la Fed, Bernanke. Bernanke hablará sobre la estabilidad financiera ante la Reserva Federal de Kansas City Economic Symposium. Se aguarda volatilidad sobre su discurso.

EURO

El EURO finalizó la sesión comercial de ayer con resultados mixtos. La moneda europea registró ganancias contra el DOLAR, alcanzando los 1.4888. Contra el YEN, el EURO estuvo 0.2% abajo, en 161.55. Varios analistas estima que el EURO alcanzará los 1.50 contra el DÓLAR, dado que el Banco Central Europeo manifestó que un deterioro en el crecimiento se aguarda, más que una recesión como se teme.

En la Unión Europea se publicaron datos económicos negativos provenientes de los diferentes informes del PMI. Tanto el Flash Manufacturing PMI alemán, como el Flash Manufacturing PMI francés, tuvieron lecturas negativas. La lectura para el indicador alemán fue de 49,9 cuando la previsión era de 50,5 y en Francia tuvo una lectura de 45,1 en comparación con la lectura pronosticada de 47,0.

Hoy se dará a conocer el Industrial New Orders europeo y se espera que tenga una lectura de -1,1 en comparación con el resultado anterior de -3,5%. Los inversores examinarán estos datos en un esfuerzo por determinar con mayor detalle las perspectivas económicas de la Unión Europea

YEN JAPONES

Ayer, el YEN ganó terreno contra la mayoría de las divisas, dado que en los Estados Unidos se incrementas las dudas y preocupaciones en el sector financiero, lo que aumento el interés de los especuladores, y varios operadores vendieron DOLARES. Al comienzo de la sesión comercial de New York, el DOLAR estuvo en los 108.35 contra el YEN, y el EURO 0.5% abajo, en 161.08.

Para hoy no se aguardan noticias desde Japón, pero deberíamos ver un comercio activo en el YEN. Se aconseja a los operadores seguir los datos americanos, y de la Zona Europea, dado que determinarán el rumbo del YEN.
