  "account": "The MSCI Colcap index for Colombia fell 1.41% to close at 2,590 points on September 11, ending a four-day winning streak. The peso strengthened against the US dollar, with one dollar now buying 3,077 pesos, down 0.78% on the day. Oil prices were the main driver of the decline, as softer crude prices reduced the appeal of Colombia's equity market, particularly for the state-controlled oil company Ecopetrol. Trading volumes were thin, as investors absorbed the latest US inflation data and awaited further Federal Reserve signals. While cautious, the market's reaction was not fearful, with the peso's calm and a drop in Wall Street's fear gauge indicating investors saw the session as routine position-squaring.",
  "summary": "Colombia's COLCAP fell 1.41% on Friday, while the peso strengthened slightly against the dollar. Oil weakness anchored the session. The post Colombia Markets: MSCI Colcap & the Peso — September 12, 2026 appeared first on The Rio Times .",
