> The Colombian peso rose 0.4% against the US dollar to a two-week high, while the COLCAP stock index gained 1.0%. The move was attributed to Colombia's inclusion in a JPMorgan index and a $8.1 billion IMF flexible credit line. Expectations of moderating inflation also point to a possible 50 basis point central bank rate cut.
