USDCLP Support Holds, Tax Compliance Bill Approved in Lower House

CHILE
  • The recent pullback for USDCLP is considered technically corrective - for now - and support at 935.63, the Mar 15 low, has remained intact. A clear break of this level would highlight a stronger reversal and signal scope for an extension towards 922.80 initially, 50.0% of the Dec 1 ‘23 - Feb 26 bull leg. On the upside, initial firm resistance is at 960.70, the 20-day EMA.
  • On Wednesday, Chile’s lower house approved a bill to clamp down on tax evasion, according to a finance ministry statement. The bill now goes to the Senate. The bill seeks to increase tax collection by 1.5% of GDP, which would help finance, among other things, public safety and more money for the universal pension.
  • Chile’s relatively weak aggregate demand will help keep a lid on the pass-through from a weaker peso to local inflation, central bank Vice President Stephany Griffith-Jones said in an online event on Wednesday.
  • There are no domestic data scheduled for the following week.
