Investment flows move in contradictory directions, not only today, because of its unique feature of being the last day of exercise.
Therefore, they could justify more random movements for portfolio balance, but they have been occurring in recent weeks.
And this is an evident sample of the indecision that causes uncertainty on the future of the pandemic and, as a consequence, of the economy in general.
On the one hand, we observe how fixed-income rises in price, TNOTE10 maintains its bullish momentum in recent weeks and currently yields near the historic lows of 0.60%, in a logical reaction to massive purchases by the Federal Reserve, but also due to investor seeking refuge in a typical flight-to-quality flow.

This situation would be unlocked if the evolution of the US pandemic improved, something that would eliminate the cap that it currently has. To keep in mind that the level of liquidity has increased exponentially and, unlike other crises, money flows abundantly.

An improvement in market risk sentiment would have a direct consequence on the weakening of the US Dollar, especially against the Euro, against the Australian Dollar, and, of course, against the currencies of emerging countries.
