CLP Extending Latest Recovery, PPI Rises 1.9% M/m

CHILE
  • USDCLP has fallen 0.4% at the open, extending the peso’s impressive recovery from Monday. As a reminder, USDCLP traded just shy of 950 before the reversal for US yields and the softer greenback acting as a strong peso tailwind. China headlines helping add some risk-on tone at the margins will be assisting the CLP bid.
    • The most recent pullback is considered technically corrective and market participants will be looking at the 20-day EMA as initial support which lies at 924.48. Key support is at the 50-day EMA - at 897.95.
  • Chile's producer prices rose 1.9% m/m in September versus +2.2% in August, according to the National Statistics Institute (INE). Producer prices fell 4.8% y/y versus -6.7% in August. (BBG)
  • The BCCh is widely expected to continue its easing cycle with another 75bp reference rate cut to 8.75% on Thursday. However, most recent comments regarding the significant weakening of the peso suggest the decision is not a forgone conclusion. Our full preview will be published tomorrow morning.
