Yesterday's Recap
Chilean equities advanced sharply as long-dated swaps reached 18-month highs, reflecting investor confidence in growth prospects despite recent weak data. Copper prices climbed 0.60% to $6.64 per pound, supporting the CLP which appreciated to 911.58 per USD. In Peru, the PEN weakened to 3.35 per USD even as gold rose 1.20% to $4,696.30, limiting MSCI Peru gains to 0.30%.
Colombia saw MSCI Colombia hold steady at 9.02 while the COP eased to 3,055.10 amid Brent’s 4.23% drop to $88.27, highlighting oil-price sensitivity. No major data releases occurred across the Andean bloc, leaving commodity and FX moves as the dominant drivers. Chile’s short-term rate remained at 4.50% with no policy shift signaled.
Flooding at a major Congolese mine added supply risks that further supported copper, while Australian mining stocks also rose on the same global demand signals.
The Day Ahead
Markets enter a data-light session with no scheduled releases in Colombia, Chile or Peru. Attention will center on global commodity flows, particularly copper and oil, given their direct impact on CLP and COP valuations. Copper’s recent strength may sustain CLP momentum if Chinese demand indicators hold, while Brent’s decline could keep Colombian assets under pressure.
Peru’s PEN faces continued volatility from gold price swings and any shifts in regional risk sentiment. Investors will also monitor Chile’s long-term swap curve for further signals of growth expectations. Broader equity flows into MSCI Chile and Peru ETFs remain key to sustaining yesterday’s gains.
Zijin Mining noted its full-year copper target faces pressure from the Congo disruption, reinforcing the price support already visible in the 0.60% advance.
Other Economic Notes
Andean economies continue to diverge along commodity lines, with Chile and Peru benefiting from industrial metals strength while Colombia contends with softer energy prices. Elevated gold levels provide a partial buffer for Peru but have not offset PEN depreciation. Fiscal balances across the region remain sensitive to mining royalties and oil revenues, with any sustained Brent weakness likely to widen Colombia’s external gap.
