# After the US elections, the dollar ended the week in tense calm

> The US dollar index fell as much as 0.5%, reaching its lowest level since late September, after the Democrats’ midterm-election victory raised concerns about political gridlock and tighter regulation of the technology sector. In Argentina, the official dollar closed at 1,520 pesos to buy and 1,570 to sell, while country risk topped 850 points and local stocks declined.
