They are going to dive/ Euro historical devaluation against the lek. Oil destroys the dollar in international markets

The euro touched its lowest level in more than 10 years this Friday, December 9, being exchanged at 115.84 ALL. Other currencies also closed the week with a decrease, the dollar is exchanged at 109.7 ALL and the British pound at 134.3 ALL.

At the beginning of this week, the Bank of Albania bought 10 million euros in order to stabilize the exchange rate and increase the foreign exchange reserve. This withdrawal from the market took the euro to an even lower level. Anyway, the end of the year is a second summer for the euro in the Albanian market, as its circulation and use increases, due to seasonal factors.

Zhvlerësimi i euros pritet të prekë depozitat që mbahen në këtë valutë, e cila ëshët zhvlerësuar mbi 2.5% kundrejt monedhës tonë vendase.

Në tregjet e huaja euro ka shfaqur stabilitet kundrejt dollarit, duke u këmbyer me 1.05 dollarë, pas një periudhe të errët, të shkaktuar nga inflacioni dhe vonesa e BQE-së për të rritur normat e interesit.

Vetë dollari amerikan vazhdon të shënojë rënie dhe vetëm në tremujorin e fundit është zhvlerësuar me 7%, pasi investitorët presin që banka Federale të ngadalësojë procesin e rritjes së mëtejshme të normës së interesave. Kjo sjellje ka shkaktuar dhe një rënie të yield-eve të titujve të thesarit në SHBA, duke bërë që tregjet të presin një recesion.

The dollar is also depreciating against the Chinese yuan due to recent oil talks. An important factor for the devaluation of the dollar recently has been the drop in the price of oil in the world markets. After a recent China-Saudi Arabia meeting, the destruction of the "petrodollar" system was discussed, an old agreement between the Arab country and the US, which aimed to keep the dollar as the strongest currency in the world.

According to media sources , which have not been confirmed by officials, Riyadh has promised Beijing to sell oil in yuan and not in dollars, as China gets ready to reopen the economy after the return of Covid19 there.
