# Latin American FX hits seven-month low as hot US inflation lifts dollar

> Latin American currencies fell to a seven-month low after stronger-than-expected US October inflation boosted the dollar and Treasury yields. Brazil’s real dropped 1.6%, Colombia’s equity index fell 2.4%, and Mexico’s peso lost 0.9% as traders priced in two Federal Reserve rate hikes by March.

## Why it matters

Higher US rates and a stronger dollar can draw capital away from emerging markets, weakening regional currencies and raising the local cost of imported feed inputs. The currency pressure is broad across major Latin American markets.
