Yesterday's Recap

Andean markets showed selective strength on August 25. MSCI Peru climbed 0.73% to 94.97 as copper prices rose 1.64% to 6.82, supporting mining-linked assets in the country. The Chilean peso firmed 0.97% to 912.19 per dollar, aligning with the IPSA index advance of 1.76% to 11,538 reported in local trading.

MSCI Chile slipped 0.83% to 41.92 despite the peso move, reflecting mixed equity sentiment. In Colombia, USD/COP rose 0.80% to 3,088.25 while MSCI Colombia held flat at 9.02. Brent crude’s 3.86% decline to 85.16 added pressure on Colombian fiscal and external accounts given the country’s oil exposure.

Gold’s 0.76% gain to 4,673.50 offered limited offset for regional commodity producers. Overall flows remained contained with no major data releases across the three economies.

The Day Ahead

The Andean calendar stays light through August 27 with no scheduled inflation, GDP or trade prints in Colombia, Chile or Peru. Traders will monitor copper and oil price swings for direction in CLP and COP. Any follow-through in Chilean equity gains could support further peso consolidation near current levels.

Colombian assets face ongoing sensitivity to Brent moves and domestic fiscal headlines. Peruvian markets may continue to track global copper demand signals. Market participants will also watch external drivers such as the Bank of Canada decision for broader risk sentiment.

Other Economic Notes

Commodity price volatility continues to dominate Andean external balances. Chile and Peru remain leveraged to copper while Colombia depends more on crude. Lithium policy developments in Chile add a longer-term layer to mining investment flows.

Regional equity and FX moves stayed orderly despite the absence of fresh domestic data. External demand conditions for metals will likely set the tone for growth and current-account trajectories in the near term.

Global Macro News

The ECB holds its deposit rate at 2.25% with Eurozone CPI at 2.90% year-over-year and unemployment at 6.30%. These readings point to a gradual easing path that could sustain demand for industrial metals. Copper’s latest advance reflects this backdrop and supports export revenues in Chile and Peru.

Global Macro News (continued)

Brent’s sharp drop may ease imported inflation pressures across the bloc while trimming Colombia’s fiscal receipts. Gold’s further rise to 4,673.50 offers a hedge channel for regional central banks managing reserves. Broader risk appetite remains tied to these global commodity and rate signals rather than Andean-specific catalysts.

Divergent monetary trajectories between the ECB and other major central banks add another layer of FX volatility for COP, CLP and PEN.

Andean Central Banks Watch

Chile’s short-term rate sits at 4.50% after prior aggressive cuts, leaving BCCh with limited room for further easing unless inflation surprises lower. Colombia’s BanRep maintains a relatively hawkish bias given persistent price pressures, keeping the policy rate above regional peers and supporting COP carry. Peru’s BCRP continues its stable approach with minimal intervention in USD/PEN, which eased 0.07% to 3.35.

Rate-path divergences remain evident: Chile has led the cutting cycle, Colombia has held firmer, and Peru has stayed on hold. FX reserve management across the three banks shows no notable shifts in recent sessions. Any future BanRep or BCCh communications will be scrutinized for signals on how commodity price moves feed into inflation forecasts.
