INTERNATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
The dirham depreciates for the third consecutive week against the dollar, following the uptrend of the greenback internationally. Thus, the pair USD/MAD stands at 9.20, an annual high.
The liquidity spread between the MAD benchmark and its central price is narrowing this week. It stands at -4.89%, the lowest during H2-21. This is due to market expectations for a resumption of export flows over the ST. For its part, the foreign exchange position goes back to negative territory given the foreign currency purchase from BAM of MAD 55 Mn a week earlier.
In a context of high EUR/USD volatility, we recommend adopting hedging strategies over the ST.
Nonetheless, we maintain our central scenario of MAD appreciation against the dollar over the next three months.
