Colombia's finance ministry has stepped up spot dollar purchases since Friday, buying about $250 million on Friday and $410 million on Monday after the peso reached its strongest level in almost five years. The purchases follow a government plan to prioritize holding foreign-currency cash, as outlined by public credit director Javier Cuellar.
Official dollar buying adds demand for USD against the peso, which can cap peso gains and increase currency volatility ahead of elections. For feed buyers, the effect on Colombian import costs is indirect but a weaker peso raises the local cost of imported feed ingredients.
