# Dollar Posts Slight Gain, Closing a Volatile Week Below CLP 980

> The U.S. dollar rose CLP 2.1 against the Chilean peso on Friday, closing at CLP 978.00 after briefly reaching CLP 986 following a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report. October payrolls increased by 165,000, unemployment fell to 4.1%, and wage growth exceeded forecasts; improved U.S. stock-market sentiment later tempered the dollar’s rise against the peso.
