Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Chile's peso fell to a two-week low as investor aversion to higher-yielding emerging markets increased after Japan entered into a recession.

Chile's peso dropped for the first time in four days, sliding 1.3 percent to 646.75 per dollar at 7:50 a.m. in New York, from 638.27 on Nov. 17. The peso touched 648.50, its weakest level since Nov. 4.
