CHILE: CLP Slips to Session Low as Trump Tariff Excludes Refined Copper

Jul-30 18:13
  • Outside of the move in BRL - CLP also briefly slips to a new daily low as the White House confirm the proclamation "TO ADDRESS EFFECTS OF COPPER IMPORTS ON AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY, PROCLAMATION IMPOSES UNIVERSAL 50% TARIFFS ON IMPORTS OF SEMI-FINISHED COPPER PRODUCTS AND COPPER-INTENSIVE DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1" - Reuters
  • Most notably here, the proclamation excludes refined copper - potentially a softer tariff than expected - helping trigger downside in COMEX listed copper. COMEX Sep futures drop as much as 16% on the headline.

The trend condition in EURGBP remains bullish and the cross is trading  closer to its recent highs. Moving average studies have recently crossed and are currently in a bull-mode position - this reinforces the current uptrend. Scope is seen for a test of 0.8592 next, a Fibonacci retracement. On the downside, support to watch lies at 0.8478, the 50-day EMA. Clearance of this level would highlight a possible reversal.
