# Colombia's peso slides against US dollar as global oil prices tumble | The City Paper Bogotá

> The Colombian peso fell about 2.2% against the US dollar, trading above 3,000 per dollar and reaching its weakest level of 2017. The move followed a fall in crude futures after several oil producers increased supply, and Colombian Ecopetrol shares dropped nearly 3%.

## Why it matters

Colombia is a major oil exporter, so lower crude prices weaken the peso and raise the cost of imported inputs for feed buyers. A weaker peso also raises importers' costs for grains and meal priced in dollars.
