CHILE: USDCLP May Extend Bounce Following Dovish Leaning BCCh

CHILE
  • USDCLP rose 1.25% Tuesday on the back of the risk off tone across equity markets and the sharp declines for copper futures. Following the unanimous BCCh cut overnight and signalling towards the easing cycle reaching a neutral level faster-than-expected, USDCLP may see further upside pressure at today’s open, ahead of the central bank’s IPoM report. It is also worth noting that August CPI data is scheduled this Friday.
  • Price action saw USDCLP end the session in close proximity to previous key support at 929.78, the Aug 1 low. Overall, the USDCLP bear leg that started Aug 5 remains in play, however, the strong bounce from the July lows and the subsequent breach of 20- and 50-day EMAs are positive technical developments. A stronger reversal higher would refocus attention on 940.53, the Aug 16 high and then key resistance and the bull trigger at 966.61, the Aug 5 high.
