The Chilean peso fell today as the economic data suggested that the US economy is slowing, therefore reducing demand from investors for higher-yielding, but riskier, currencies.
The Chilean peso is the currency of Chile. Its modern version replaced the old currency in 1975. The currency is supported by the view on the economy of Chile as one of the most stable in South America. Chile produces about 1/3 of world copper output; therefore prices for copper have great influence on performance of the peso.
