Yesterday's Recap
Chile’s central bank kept its policy rate unchanged at 4.5%, matching consensus and leaving the Chile Short-term Rate steady. Equity markets in the region posted solid gains, with MSCI Peru advancing 4.19% to 86.84 and MSCI Chile climbing 2.34% to 39.82, driven by copper strength. MSCI Colombia remained flat at 9.02.
Regional currencies appreciated, led by USD/COP’s 2.90% decline to 3,107.85, while USD/CLP fell 0.96% to 925.97 and USD/PEN eased 0.49% to 3.38. Copper rose 0.71% to 6.49 and Brent crude gained 0.82% to 89.76, supporting fiscal and external balances in Chile and Peru. Gold added 0.33% to 4,113.70, providing modest inflows for Peruvian miners.
Bitcoin declined 1.33% to 63,863.16. Copper’s monthly advance reflects tightening global supply, directly bolstering Chile’s fiscal receipts and Peru’s trade balance. Lithium shipments from Chile remain supportive of export revenues and reserve accumulation.
Oil price stability at elevated levels helps contain Colombia’s fiscal gap but limits upside for Ecopetrol capex. Regional equity outperformance versus broader EM indices highlights the commodity linkage unique to the Andean bloc.
The Day Ahead
BanRep is scheduled to announce its policy decision at 10:00 ET, with markets pricing in a 50 bp hike to 12.5% on accelerating inflation. No major data releases are listed for Chile or Peru today. Traders will monitor any signals on the persistence of the rate path in Colombia versus the recent hold in Chile.
Copper and Brent price action will continue to influence CLP and COP flows. Equity markets may extend yesterday’s gains if commodity prices hold above current levels. Copper supply concerns tied to U.S.
import flows add upward pressure on prices relevant to Chile and Peru. Broader risk sentiment remains sensitive to inflation persistence in advanced economies.
