The dollar in Colombia is living a June of ‘fallen layer’. And it is that during the sixth month of the year, the currency it has only recorded losses.

(See: Who wins and who loses with the dollar at less than 4,200 pesos).

The last time the coin had a profit was May 31. That day it had a Representative Market Rate (TRM) of 4,408.65 pesos and closed the day on the rise, so that on June 1 the TRM was 4,434.09 pesos.

In 10 days that go from the sixth month of the year, only losses have been registered. Between June 1 (TRM of 4,434.09 pesos) and June 10 (TRM of 4,173.66 pesos), the Dólar has fallen 260.43 pesos.

Only in the last week, from June 5 (TRM of 4,355.80 pesos) to June 10 (TRM of 4,173.66 pesos), fell 4,355.80 pesos.
