The peso shed 1%, touching a one-week low to the dollar after S&P Global Ratings lowered Colombia's rating to junk bond status.

Brazil's lower house approves bill to privatize Eletrobras
Brazil's lower house approved late on Wednesday a bill to privatize Brazilian state power utility Eletrobras, a long-awaited divestment. Under the terms of the bill, Eletrobras will sell new shares to investors, diluting the stake of the government, which will lose its controlling interest in the company. The government expects to raise roughly 25 billion reais ($4.71 billion) from the divestment.
