Yesterday's Recap
Regional equity markets showed mixed performance on June 29 with Chile outperforming on stronger copper prices. MSCI Chile rose 0.68% to 39.80 while MSCI Peru fell 1.13% to 82.46 despite the commodity tailwind. MSCI Colombia held flat at 9.02.
The peso strengthened markedly with USD/PEN dropping 2.26% to 3.34, whereas USD/COP rose 0.37% to 3,450.50 and USD/CLP edged 0.04% lower to 921.60. Brent crude gained 1.13% to $73.98, offering modest support to Colombia’s external accounts. Gold advanced 0.58% to $4,045.50, providing secondary benefits to Peruvian producers.
The Cencosud acquisition of Makro Colombia signals continued Chilean retail expansion into neighboring markets.
The Day Ahead
No major economic releases are scheduled across Colombia, Chile or Peru for July 1. Markets will monitor global commodity flows and any follow-through from the copper price surge. Attention may turn to early July inflation prints and trade balance data expected later in the week.
Investors will also watch for updates on the Cencosud-Makro transaction and its regulatory timeline in Colombia. Thin calendar leaves FX and equity moves driven primarily by external risk sentiment and metal prices.
Other Economic Notes
Elevated copper prices at $6.25/lb improve Chile’s structural fiscal balance and narrow its current-account gap through higher royalty collections. Peru receives a milder but positive impulse via expanded mining output and export receipts. Colombia’s oil-linked revenues remain supported by Brent above $73 yet face pressure from persistent import demand.
Cross-border M&A activity highlights regional corporate consolidation trends amid stable short-term rates in Chile at 4.50%.
Global Macro News
Stronger Chinese PMI data lifted global copper demand expectations, directly benefiting Andean exporters. Gold’s advance to $4,045.50 reflected ongoing safe-haven flows amid geopolitical uncertainty. Brent’s 1.13% gain eased fiscal concerns in oil-producing Colombia while capping upside to its current account.
