# How the dollar opened this Monday, November 9, 2026

> The US dollar fell 0.3% on the DXY index and opened in Colombia at COP 3,245, compared with a representative market rate of COP 3,237.83. The international decline followed improved investor sentiment and reduced safe-haven demand after the dollar’s strong rise on Friday, which had been supported by US employment data and expectations of a possible Federal Reserve rate increase.

## Why it matters

A weaker dollar index can ease pressure on currencies such as the Colombian peso, although the local opening quote was above the reference rate. The changing outlook for US interest rates remains a key driver of currency demand.
