​On Wednesday, May 22, the US dollar and the Colombian peso traded at 3,822.81.  

In the past four weeks, the USD/COP has lost 2.10%. Over the past 12 months, the pair has lost 14.41%. 

The USD/COP cross is set for potential volatility today, May 22, as traders and investors prepare to react to a series of economic releases and global market trends. The US and Colombian economies will be under scrutiny for various economic indicators that could affect the direction of the currency pair. 

Positive data from the US may support the USD, as it suggests that the economy remains resilient and that monetary policy tightening is possible. 

Recent movements in the USD/COP exchange rate have been largely influenced by fluctuations in the price of oil, Colombia's main export, and changes in US monetary policy. According to the latest data, the US dollar has shown strength against a basket of currencies, including the Colombian peso, driven by investor sentiment regarding the Federal Reserve's stance on interest rates. 

It is also worth noting that Colombia is facing export problems, as its main partners, besides the US, are Ecuador and Venezuela, which are currently experiencing economic issues. 

The dollar to Colombian peso exchange rate forecast for Wednesday, May 22nd: 3,816 Colombian pesos, high 3,873, low 3,759. 

Forex traders are advised to keep an eye on major economic indicators and political news throughout the day, as they may cause significant fluctuations in the USD/COP pair.
