DOLAR ESTADOUNIDENSE

El DOLAR obtuvo una tendencia alcista el día de ayer frente a la mayoría de las principales divisas. El DOLAR, obtuvo un incremento del 0,6% y cerró en virtud de los 1.4520 frente al EURO. La recuperación del DOLAR continúa mientras se redacta este informe, y el par EURO/DOLAR está actualmente rondando los 1.4400. Por otra parte, el DOLAR ganó terreno contra la LIBRA, dado que el par LIBRA/DOLAR alcanzó valores que no registraba hace 2 años y medio en la zona de los 1.7784, antes de replegarse hacia los 1,7832 dólares americanos.

El DOLAR se caracterizó por una fuerte tendencia alcista ayer debido a la fuerte caída en el valor del petróleo. Existe asimismo preocupación sobre la situación de las principales economías mundiales, lo que llevó a varios inversores a apoyar al DOLAR. El tema central en los mercados financieros ayer fue el petróleo, el cual registró $105,46 por barril, debido a que el huracán Gustav está tenido un efecto limitado sobre la infraestructura energética. El Manufacturing PMI se publicó ayer, en 49.9 para agosto, a partir de la marca de julio de 50,0. El indicador superó las expectativas y no afectó al DOLAR como se esperaba, debido a los datos económicos de la Unión Europea que resultaron desalentadores.

A las 14:00 GMT se espera la publicación del Factory Orders, el cual determina el valor de los nuevos pedidos realizados al sector industrial, tanto con respecto a bienes durables y no durables. El Factory Orders por lo general no causa gran impacto, dado que suministra información ya contenida en el Durable Goods Orders, el cual es publicado con anterioridad. Asimismo se publicará hoy el Total Vehicle Sales, el cual está pronosticado para aumentar ligeramente en comparación con lecturas anteriores, y contribuirá poco a la volatilidad.

EURO

El EURO obtuvo resultados mixtos frente a la mayoría de las divisas. El EURO cayó 0,6% frente al DOLAR después de caer por debajo de los 1,45 dólares americanos, por primera vez desde febrero, y más de $ 0,15 frente a la cifra sin precedentes en escala a mediados de julio. El EURO experimentó un comportamiento similar contra el YEN dado que el par descendió de 158,43 a la zona de los 157,65. El EURO obtuvo un alza frente a la LIBRA y cerró a 0,8142.

El único dato económico publicado ayer fue el Producer Price Index. En la Unión Europea, el Producer Price Index obtuvo un pequeño incremento. Este aumento, por más pequeño que sea, puede lograr que el Banco Central Europeo mantenga las tasas de interés en suspenso. El PPI aumentó un 1,1% en julio, y se esperaba en 1,3%.

Para el día de hoy, el indicador más significativo será el Retail Sales. Los analistas prevén que el Retail Sales de Europa será más elevado que con respecto a los meses anteriores. Los operadores deberían prestar atención al indicador, dado que con un resultado que supere las expectativas, se podría observar un alza en el EURO.

YEN JAPONES

A pesar de la tendencia bajista frente al DOLAR, el YEN obtuvo una tendencia alcista contra la mayoría de las principales divisas. El YEN cayó 0,7% frente al DOLAR y cerró a 108,85. El par EURO/YEN cayó de 157,91 a 157,08.

La exportación aprovechó de la caída del valor del petróleo, lo que ayudó a reducir los costos de transporte de mercancías en todo el mundo. El único evento programado que se anunció el día de ayer fue un discurso del Gobernador del Banco Central de Japón, Shirakawa, donde indicó que la economía de Japón volverá a una senda de crecimiento moderado y es poco probable que se enfrente a una caída, lo que ayudó a fortalecer al YEN. Los datos económicos también compensan preocupaciones en relación con la repentina renuncia del Primer Ministro japonés, Fukuda. Varios analistas sostienen que otro cambio en el poder en Japón causaría problemas con el nuevo conjunto de medidas de estímulo que se están destinando.

Hoy no habrá noticias significativas provenientes de Japón, y los operadores deberían seguir la evolución mundial del sector, dado que el DOLAR Y el EURO podrían determinar los movimientos del YEN durante el día de hoy.
