# Latin American Currencies Rose As The Dollar Softened - Finimize

> MSCI's Latin America FX index rose 1.3% to a two-month high after cooler US growth data and an in-line Fed inflation gauge weakened the dollar. The Colombian peso gained 1.2% and the Chilean peso about 1%, with a sharp yen jump also contributing to dollar softness.

## Why it matters

A softer dollar lowers the local-currency cost of dollar-priced imports and supports regional demand for feed. Investors are still hedging heavily, so the currency gains may be limited.
