CHILE
- USDCLP has extended losses through Wednesday’s session, amid the ongoing optimism for risk sentiment, with the pair now 1.1% lower on the day around 992. The move takes total losses for the pair since Friday’s high to 2.5% and narrows the gap to firm support at 987.23, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of the EMA would highlight potential for a deeper retracement and open 966.86, the Dec 6 low.
