Yesterday's Recap

Chilean equities declined as the MSCI Chile index fell 0.85% to 37.11 amid broader commodity volatility. The CLP depreciated 0.73% to 980.04 per USD, reflecting pressure from higher Brent crude prices that jumped 5.18% to 105.39. In Colombia, the MSCI Colombia index held steady at 9.02 while the COP strengthened 0.49% to 3,223.14 per USD on firmer oil prices.

Peru’s MSCI index eased 0.30% to 88.39 with the PEN appreciating 0.14% to 3.44 per USD. Gold advanced 0.24% to 4,150.60, providing limited support to regional miners. Flooding along Chile’s Mapocho river prompted airlifts but did not disrupt broader market pricing.

Bitcoin fell 0.90% to 82,523.05, offering little offset to Andean equity weakness. Copper rose 0.31% to 6.62, giving modest backing to Peru’s export outlook without lifting equities materially.

The Day Ahead

Markets enter a data-light session with no scheduled Andean releases, leaving focus on commodity price action and external drivers. Copper at 6.62 and Brent near 105.39 will dictate sentiment for Chile and Peru exporters while oil remains key for Colombia. Regional FX pairs are expected to track global risk appetite and USD direction.

Equity flows into MSCI Chile and Peru proxies could stay subdued absent fresh catalysts. Any comments from central bank officials would likely center on inflation trajectories rather than immediate policy shifts. Investors will watch for follow-through moves in gold at 4,150.60 and any shifts in Bitcoin that could influence risk sentiment across emerging markets.

Other Economic Notes

The World Bank projects Colombia will outpace both Brazil and Mexico in 2026 growth, underscoring relative resilience in the Andean bloc. Chile’s lithium sector continues to draw attention as a structural growth driver alongside traditional copper output. Peru’s mining pipeline remains central to medium-term fiscal balances and export receipts.

Regional sovereign spreads have shown limited reaction to the latest commodity moves, suggesting investors view current price levels as supportive rather than disruptive. Fiscal discipline across the three economies continues to anchor credibility with external investors despite varying political backdrops. Steady external accounts in Colombia benefit directly from Brent strength while Chile and Peru rely more on copper stability.

Global Macro News

The ECB holds its deposit rate at 2.50% while Eurozone CPI stands at 3.80% year-over-year, keeping external monetary conditions relatively tight for emerging markets. Eurozone unemployment at 6.40% signals steady labor markets that could limit near-term ECB cuts and support a stronger euro against regional currencies. Philippine peso weakness and reserve declines highlight broader EM FX pressures that may spill into Andean crosses if risk aversion rises.

Global bond markets remain sensitive to inflation prints, with any upside surprises likely to weigh on commodity-linked currencies such as the CLP and COP. Brent’s sharp advance reflects ongoing supply concerns that benefit Colombia’s external accounts more directly than Chile or Peru. Gold’s modest gain offers a partial hedge for central bank reserve management across the region.

Equity flows into Latin America could stay selective given mixed commodity performance and the absence of major data prints.

Andean Central Banks Watch

BanRep maintains its relatively hawkish stance given Colombia’s persistent inflation pressures, with the committee voting to hold rates steady in the latest decision. BCCh has pursued the most aggressive easing path in the region, though recent inflation data may reinforce expectations for further measured cuts. BCRP continues its stable approach, prioritizing inflation targeting credibility and reserve accumulation without signaling near-term shifts.

Continuation

Andean Central Banks Watch (continued)

Divergences remain evident: Colombia’s policy rate path stays higher for longer compared with Chile’s steeper trajectory, while Peru’s benchmark sits between the two. FX intervention remains a tool for all three banks, particularly when commodity volatility threatens reserve levels. Officials across the bloc continue to emphasize data dependence rather than pre-committed easing schedules.
