> The Chilean dollar rose about 3.9 pesos to around 981.8 in morning trading, recovering part of the previous session's drop of nearly 16 pesos. The move followed the Treasury's plan to increase dollar sales in November and a fall in oil prices, while copper dropped more than 2%.

## Why it matters

Copper is Chile's main export, so its weakness reduces dollar inflows and pressures the peso. The effect on feed commodity prices is limited, though the oil and risk-sentiment swings tied to the Middle East and US elections matter for input costs.
