MSCI Chile fell 0.66% to 39.13 despite the commodity gains, reflecting profit-taking after prior sessions.
MSCI Colombia stayed flat at 9.02. On the FX front, USD/COP declined 0.85% to 3,358.34, USD/PEN eased 0.44% to 3.40 and USD/CLP slipped 0.08% to 924.36. Chile’s short-term rate held at 4.50%.

Chile’s competitiveness ranking leads Latin America at 43rd globally according to IMD metrics, supporting investor sentiment toward its mining sector.

Peru benefits similarly from dual exposure to copper and gold, lifting regional royalty collections in Arequipa and Cajamarca.
Colombia’s oil sector faces softer Brent levels near $71.65, keeping Ecopetrol’s fiscal headroom contained. Lithium developments in Chile stay longer-term and have not yet altered near-term budget math.
