Yesterday's Recap
Andean equity markets edged higher on commodity strength despite zero scheduled data releases across Colombia, Chile and Peru. MSCI Chile advanced 0.12% to 41.35 while MSCI Peru rose 0.16% to 94.44, tracking copper’s 2.16% surge to 6.73 and gold’s 0.86% gain to 4,649.20. MSCI Colombia held flat at 9.02.
The Chilean peso and Colombian peso both depreciated, with USD/CLP climbing 0.78% to 926.38 and USD/COP rising 0.85% to 3,154.44; USD/PEN was little changed at 3.35. Brent crude’s 1.49% drop to 88.36 offered modest fiscal relief for Colombia’s oil-dependent accounts. Chile’s short-term rate stayed at 4.50% with no policy shift.
Overall flows remained light as investors positioned ahead of the weekend. Bitcoin fell 0.67% to 79,717.40, reflecting broader risk-off moves that left Andean assets relatively resilient on metal support.
The Day Ahead
The economic calendar remains empty for Colombia, Chile and Peru, leaving commodity prices and global risk sentiment as the main drivers. Copper and gold levels will continue to dictate equity and currency moves in Chile and Peru. Colombia’s local bond market may see steady demand given the absence of new supply signals.
Market participants will watch for any central bank commentary on inflation trajectories. External flows into Andean assets should stay sensitive to broader metal price action and U.S. data prints.
No auctions or releases are flagged that could alter near-term positioning. Light trading volumes are expected to persist into the weekend, with focus remaining on terms-of-trade gains from higher copper and gold.
Other Economic Notes
Copper’s advance improves terms of trade for Chile and Peru, supporting fiscal revenue projections through higher mining royalties and taxes. Gold strength provides additional export receipts for Peru’s formal sector and Colombia’s artisanal output. Oil softness eases import costs for the region but narrows Colombia’s trade surplus.
Lithium export volumes from Chile remain on track with no production surprises reported. External financing needs across the bloc stay contained amid stable current-account balances. The 2.16% copper gain and 0.86% gold rise directly bolster projected 2026 revenues for the mining-heavy economies without introducing new volatility.
