CHILE: USDCLP Bull Cycle Remains In Play
CHILE
- The Chilean peso is trading firmer against the dollar early in Tuesday’s session, as the front-end of the US yield curve has come under some pressure and the greenback has unwound earlier gains. USDCLP has dipped by 0.5% to 972, narrowing the gap to initial firm support at 968.29, the 20-day EMA.
- Worth noting that Hacienda’s dollar sales rose to $200mn yesterday, above the $100mn seen in recent sessions, as it front-loads its dollar sales this week, ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. The potential total weekly max for dollar auctions remains unchanged, at $400mn.
- For USDCLP, our technical analyst notes that a bull cycle in remains in play. Resistance at 966.61, the Aug 5 high and a key short-term hurdle for bulls, has recently been breached. This opens 990.67, the Feb 26 high, ahead of the psychological 1000.00 handle.
- On the downside, a break of initial firm support at the 20-day EMA would expose 953.45, the 50-day EMA.
