Dollar closes at 3,644.61 down amid Iran attacks

The US dollar ended the session at 3,644.61, down 22.45 from the prior TRM. The move aligns with crude prices rising over 2% after US attacks on Iran.

The dollar traded between 3,613 and 3,687.50 during 2,149 transactions totaling 1,269 million. The session coincided with Colombia's first presidential round five days away.

Brent futures rose 1.98 to 98.12 per barrel, while WTI stood at 91.79. Monday's US strikes on Iranian targets increased market uncertainty.

Colombia's five-year CDS reached 220.9 basis points, above Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Chile. Analysts link the rise to domestic electoral and political uncertainty.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said negotiating an agreement with Iran could take a few days.

Imeripotiwa na AI Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Wall Street and Mexico's BMV stock markets closed sharply higher on Wednesday, reacting to Tuesday's post-market announcement of a two-week truce between the US and Iran—including negotiations and gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz—following President Trump's ultimatum. The Dow Jones surged 2.85%, while the BMV's IPC climbed 2.47%. The Mexican peso strengthened up to 1.9% against the dollar.

The US dollar closed higher against the Colombian peso at $3,576.10, up $2.80 from the TRM of $3,573.30. The rise followed a new government repurchase of global bonds, the third in the past year. Meanwhile, crude oil prices fell amid expectations of US-Iran peace talks.

The Korean won opened lower against the U.S. dollar on Monday, March 23, 2026, at 1,504.9 won per dollar—extending its decline below the 1,500 level seen last week amid the ongoing Iran crisis. Down 4.3 won from Friday, the move reflects sustained geopolitical tensions boosting demand for the dollar.

The Mexican peso appreciated 0.07% against the dollar on April 27, closing at 17.38 units, due to stalled negotiations between the United States and Iran. President Donald Trump canceled the second round of talks scheduled in Pakistan, while Iranian representatives traveled to Russia. Global markets showed mixed reactions to the uncertainty.

The Mexican peso faces pressure after failed US-Iran talks and President Trump's April 12 announcement closing the Strait of Hormuz, reversing last week's gains from the truce. Analysts expect dollar strength, higher oil, and stock declines when markets open Monday, April 13.
