Colombian Peso Faces Downside Risk as US Dollar Strengthens

Developing

Business Desk

In Short: TD Securities warns that the Colombian Peso's performance may fade as domestic conditions limit its downside against the US Dollar.

TD Securities notes that the Colombian Peso (COP) has been a top high-yield performer but sees its supportive mix of tight monetary and loose fiscal policy fading, according to [new FXStreet].

With Banco de la República’s (BanRep) hiking cycle nearing an end and fiscal consolidation expected under De La Espriella, TD argues that domestic conditions will increasingly limit USD/COP downside below 3000, leaving the pair more exposed to asymmetric upside risks on risk-off shocks, as reported by [new FXStreet].

The US Dollar remains under pressure, despite a rallying Japanese Yen, as support from hawkish Fed bets and geopolitical tensions fail to provide significant backing, according to [new FXStreet].
