SANTIAGO Feb 8 (Reuters) - Chile's peso CLP=CL fell 1 percent in early Monday trade, dragged lower as fears over the global economy hit emerging market bourses, traders said.

The peso fell to 543.60/544.10 per U.S. dollar compared with Friday's close of 538.00/538.50. The peso is trading around 7 percent lower against the dollar year-to-date. (Reporting by Maria Jose Latorre; Writing by Aaron Nelsen. Editing by W Simon)
