LATAM FX
  • USDMXN is slightly higher but activity remains in a range. The outlook is bearish and attention is on key support at 19.5987, Jun 9 low where a break would strengthen a bearish case and open 19.5494, Jan 21 low. Price needs to get above 20.2153, Jun 24 high to alter the picture.
  • USDBRL is back above the 50-day EMA which comes in at 5.1656. A break of 5.3130, Jul 8 high is required to resume bullish pressure. Further weakness in the pair would highlight the bearish theme overall and expose 5.00 plus the Jun 25 low of 4.8934. This latter level is a key support.
  • The USDCLP overall outlook remains bullish and price is recovering from recent lows. Price action strengthened Thursday on the move above 757.60, Jun 22 high.
