• In Mexico, Banxico is widely expected to pause its easing cycle on Thursday amid concerns over persistent core inflation pressures.
• Meanwhile, the Copom minutes in Brazil will be in focus for clues on the pace of the easing cycle, after the committee gave a clear signal this week that it would cut rates at the next meeting in March.
• Elsewhere, CPI inflation is expected to return to target in Chile in January, opening the door to a potential March rate cut. In contrast, inflation pressures will rise further in Colombia, bolstering rate hike prospects there.
