The Position of Chancellor Murillo on Interference in Venezuela In a context of increasing political tension in Venezuela, Colombian Chancellor Luis Gilberto Murillo has reaffirmed Colombia's stance regarding non-interference in the internal affairs of its neighboring country.

Colombia's Ecopetrol Aims to Tap into Venezuelan Gas Supplies, Pending Washington's Consent The president of Colombia's state-owned oil company, Ecopetrol, Ricardo Roa, has expressed hope that the United States will soon grant approval for Colombia to begin importing natural gas from Venezuela. This move comes as the two neighboring countries work to restore diplomatic ties and economic cooperation following years of strained relations. According to Roa, Ecopetrol already has a timeline in place to repair the Antonio Ricaurte pipeline on the Colombia-Venezuela border, with the goal of receiving between 30 and 50 million cubic feet of Venezuelan gas per day starting in 2025. This would help address a projected deficit of around 85 million cubic feet per day in Colombia's gas demand.

Este enfrentamiento, que ha estado hirviendo en el trasfondo durante décadas, ha tomado un giro intrigante y controversial.

América Latina en Vilo: Alzas, Caídas y el Misterio de la Inflación en Estados Unidos Los mercados financieros latinoamericanos dan un salto tras el último informe de inflación en EE. UU. Un Impactante Efecto Dominó: América Latina, un crisol de monedas y acciones, se vio sacudida por los datos de inflación estadounidenses que, aunque mixtos, dejan más interrogantes que respuestas. El Índice de Precios al Consumidor (IPC) se disparó un 3,7% en agosto, superando las expectativas y el 3,2% de julio. Sin embargo, la inflación subyacente, que es la que más inquieta a la Reserva Federal, descendió al 4,3% interanual, frente al 4,7% del mes previo. Un rompecabezas financiero que ha desconcertado a inversores y analistas por igual. La Incertidumbre Reinante: Un operador de divisas extranjeras expresó su desconcierto: "El panorama sobre el futuro de las tasas de interés de Estados Unidos sigue siendo incierto, ya que los datos de inflación no proporcionaron las pistas esperadas por los in...
