CHILE: USDCLP Falls 1.3% Amid Rally In Copper

CHILE
  • The Chilean peso continues to outperform Tuesday, driven by a sharp 3% rally in copper prices today as risk sentiment has been buoyed by news of Chinese stimulus measures. Copper has now risen by almost 10% from its lows at the start of the month, to its highest level since July 16.
    • USDCLP has fallen by 1.3% to 910, its lowest since Aug 30.
    • The pull back in USDCLP from its latest highs has resulted in a move below both the 20- and 50-day EMAs. The sell-off undermines the recent bullish theme and a continuation lower would expose support at 904.48, the Aug 26 low, and 902.00, the Jul 11 low.
    • Attention tomorrow turns to the latest BCCh traders survey, including market participants forecasts for the interest rate outlook. Yesterday’s BCCh minutes suggested that the central bank is set to continue cutting at a 25bp pace for now.
