# Colombian Peso Slides 2.9% as Hawkish Fed Lifts the Dollar and Central Bank Surprises With a Hike

> The Colombian peso weakened 2.9% against the dollar in September 2026, closing at 3,307.50 per dollar. Bancolombia's monthly report attributed most of the depreciation to a more hawkish US Federal Reserve that strengthened the dollar against most currencies. The peso's losses were concentrated in the second half of the month.

## Why it matters

A stronger dollar raises the local-currency cost of dollar-priced feed ingredients for Colombian importers, which can push up domestic feed costs. Global feed prices are less directly affected, since the move reflects Fed policy rather than grain supply.
