The fall in the price of the dollar has already been considered by some analysts as a trend likely to continue in the coming weeks. The effect of this behavior of the U.S. dollar in the price of imported products to the end user varies depending on the sector. In the area of food and beverages, for example, importers are pointing lower prices between 5% and 10% in the last three months.
"Who buys airline ticket to travel abroad, will pay less. The reader is important books, too. But when the purchase is made here in the importing companies, the situation is different because prices have been closed for business with suppliers prior to this period of falling U.S. dollar will be closed in the future. Importers can wait until 90 days after shipment of goods to close the exchange. To be able to talk about falling prices of imported goods, it is necessary to establish downtrend in the dollar. The impression is that this trend should be confirmed that, "says Professor Raymond Torres, a specialist in foreign trade.
In general, the market for imported products does not respond immediately to fluctuations in the dollar and one of the reasons is the availability of stocks. "The importer may have bought stock at higher prices and having to assess if it is changing the price or if you decide to rotate the stock. That depends on several factors, including the durability of products, the behavior of competitors who can offer our customers more attractive terms and end up influencing a reduction, "said the president of the Commercial Association of Bahia, Eduardo Morais de Castro.
Trend - In the food and drinks, which emerges as a trend of reduction in the exchange should not bring very significant changes in prices and volume of consumption in the assessment of Eduardo Mateus Filho, a businessman in the import of food for 20 years.
"The logic of the market is not 100% linked to the dollar. The price of the product out there may be varied, either in dollar or euro, due to the decrease in the harvest, for example. There was normal until September, when it announced the global financial crisis. In recent months, there was suspending shipments of goods and the price of products out there fell. In the last three months, the price of imported food fell between 5% and 10%, "noted the manager of the segment.
With the currency swings, importers are avoiding large volumes in stocks. Lower prices on imported foods and beverages do not reflect the high consumption because of the specificities of this market.
"It's an audience that does not respond that way. Sell cod, for example, and demand grows naturally in the Holy Week because of the occasion. Consumption may rise little, but the market sets for one. In the area of imports, lower prices do not mean more sales, considered the business segment Matthew Son.
Professor Torres believes the signs of global economic recovery are already apparent, which should confirm the expectations for the exchange, and that Brazil has won the domestic market against global turmoil.
