SNAPSHOT: Brazil DI and Mex TIIE Swaps Curves Bear Steeper

LATAM
  • A volatile session for USDBRL leads to modest gains on Monday. Initial Real weakness saw USDBRL come very close to 5.30 before a strong reversal saw the pair trade back through Friday's close to fresh lows at 5.2292. With recent political wrangling favouring dip buying in the pair, supportive price action has brought USDBRL back into positive territory, +0.42% around 5.27. The currency weakness has prompted a steepening of the DI curve, with local 10-yr swap rates rising roughly 17 basis points.
  • TIIE swaps curve reversing some of the post Banxico relief rally, with local swap rates rising between 2-9bps in a bear steepening move.
    • USDMXN up 0.18% at 19.9152
    • USDBRL up 0.42% at 5.2691
    • USDCLP up 1.58% at 788.01
