PERU
  • A majority of analysts expect the BCRP to keep its interest rate on hold at 4.75% today, albeit with risks of a further cut, given the benign inflation backdrop (2300GMT/1800ET).

  • However, the explicit mention to the reference rate “approaching the level estimated as neutral”, a more hawkish Fed and prominent external risks relating to global trade may prompt a cautious hold at this juncture.
