Friday, Nov. 6, 2026 · Bogotá close 4:00 p.m. (same as ET) · By Juan Reina · Data: BVC and NYSE via TradingView. We inform; we don’t give investment advice.
Key takeaways for dollar-based investors

- Ecopetrol jumped 3.2% in Bogotá to COP 2,600 ahead of Tuesday’s Q3 earnings, but the ADR (EC) barely moved, as the stronger dollar offset the local gain.
- Grupo Sura hit a 52-week high (COP 79,520), up 7.5% on the week.
- The peso weakened to about 3,240 per dollar after the strong U.S. jobs report lifted the dollar globally.

The peso and your returns
The October jobs report (+165,000) pushed the dollar index up about 0.7% and the peso weakened to around 3,240. That is why Ecopetrol’s 3% local gain translated into a flat ADR. The peso is still about 14% stronger than at the start of 2026, which explains why dollar returns on EC and CIB this year are well above peso returns. Read why the peso is so strong.

| Grupo Cibest (CIB) | $92.37 | COP 4,512/share × 4 | ≈6.0% |
Approximate yields convert the 2026 dividend at about 3,240 pesos per dollar, before Colombian withholding and ADR fees. Yields in dollars change with the exchange rate.
Why Colombia held up while tech fell
The COLCAP is dominated by oil, banks, utilities and holding companies such as Grupo Sura and Grupo Argos, with almost no technology exposure. That is why this week’s AI-chip rout barely touched it in local terms. For U.S. investors, the bigger swing factors are oil, which drives Ecopetrol, and the peso, which converts every local move into dollars.
How to get Colombia exposure from the U.S.
- Single ADRs: EC and CIB trade on the NYSE during normal U.S. hours.
- ETF: COLO (formerly GXG) holds a basket of Colombian stocks.
- Accounts: both can sit in a regular brokerage account or an IRA; foreign withholding treatment differs by account type.
