Strong Start For CLP, Uncertainty Weighs on RUB

EM FX
  • CLP experienced a significant appreciation following yesterday's election results, up 2.8% today against the US Dollar, levitating equities to a 6-month high.
  • On the other hand, political uncertainty keeps weighing on the RUB, down 1.7% against the USD, which has been one of the weakest FX performers this month (after TRY).
  • Selling pressure on CEE remains elevated, with the HUF down 0.8% against the USD, as uncertainty over the economic outlook has been weighing on CEE risky assets.
  • More and more governments have been imposed new restrictions to limit the downside risk of another wave of infections, which could continue to support 'safe' assets such as the US Dollar in the near term.
