by Michael Sutton June 7, 2011

Colombia market

The Colcap index dropped 0.18% in Tuesday’s session largely as the result of down days from Bancolombia and Pacific Rubiales (-1.55% and -1.16%). Volume was within this year’s average as COP$166 billion traded hands.

CPI for May registered in at 0.28%, 0.10% higher than inflation in May 2010. Food was the primary source of the increased figure as it rose 0.78% last month. The Central Bank has a target rate of 3% (+-1%). Inflation over the previous 12 months has been 3.02%.

Sales of cars in Colombia were 28,205 in May, bringing the total for the first 5 months of the year to 131,187, a 51.3% increase compared to the same month last year.

The peso continued its strong move against the dollar as it appreciated to 1,767.10.
