# Colombian dollar today: how the currency closed after the US elections

> The US dollar closed at 3,219 Colombian pesos on November 4, down 16 pesos from its opening rate of 3,235.59. The move followed Democratic gains in the US midterm elections, with the currency weakening as investors weighed Trump's electoral setback and fiscal spending concerns.
