CHILE
  • The Chilean peso is trading on a firmer footing in early trade Wednesday, buoyed by a modest gain in copper prices. USDCLP trades 0.4% lower around 974, with eyes on initial firm support at 969.43, the 20-day EMA. No macro data are due today, with month-end activity data next in the calendar on Friday. On the political front, the lower house is set to vote on the 2025 budget bill from 1300GMT(0800ET), with the Senate possibly also voting later in the day.
  • Meanwhile, workers at the Ventanas port in central Chile have reached a wage agreement with management, according to a union leader, ending the strike that has disrupted copper shipments from the port since Nov 14.
  • In other news, the government has cancelled the year’s remaining Treasury bond sales planned for December, according to a report in El Mercurio, citing a finance ministry email to local banks.
