The US dollar opened slightly higher against the Peruvian sol on Sunday, trading at S/3.415.

The move marks a reversal of the recent downward trend for the greenback in the Latin American market, where the currency had been under sustained selling pressure.

The uptick comes after the dollar traded at S/3.40 against the sol on Wednesday, according to data from the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP).

That level represented a continuation of the greenback’s softening trend in the region, driven by limited trading activity and prevailing risk sentiment.

Sunday’s opening suggests a pause in the sol’s recent strength.

While weekend trading volumes remain thin, the shift in direction indicates that the previous slide may have found a floor.
