CHILE: USDCLP Trend Condition Remains Bearish, Nov. PPI Expected

Dec-24 11:21
  • USDCLP held just above post-election cycle lows yesterday, as the peso remained supported by continued gains in copper prices. Further gains in copper today may keep the peso on the front-foot, although any moves are likely to be limited in thin Christmas markets.
  • The trend condition in USDCLP remains bearish, and the fresh cycle low recently reinforces the bearish theme. Scope is seen for a move towards 900.00, a psychological level, ahead of 891.28, the Sep 27 ‘24 low, and 881.73, the May 20 ‘24 low and a key medium-term support.
  • After meeting with Ecuador President Noboa yesterday, President-elect Jose Antonio Kast said that a new era of relations between Chile and Ecuador had begun. Kast said the two had a pleasant conversation where they discussed common challenges they face including on security, immigration and trade and economic development.
  • Today, November PPI data cross at 1200GMT(0700ET). Last month, producer prices rose by 3.5% m/m, following a 1.7% m/m gain in September. In annual terms, PPI inflation edged up further to 9.7% y/y in October, from 9.5% previously.
    • Nov. PPI MoM, prior 3.5%
  • After today, the calendar is clear until month-end activity data including retail sales, IP, and copper production next week. Unemployment data for November also cross next week.

A bullish theme in Treasuries remains intact. Last week’s breach of resistance at 113-02, an area of congestion since Nov 5, marks a bullish development and suggests scope for a climb towards 113-18+, the Oct 28 high. Note that the move higher also cancels a recent short-term bearish theme. Key support to watch is 112-06, the Sep 25 low. Trendline support, drawn from the May 22 low, lies at 112-09.
