Tuesday, February 12, 3:44 PM Markets make opinons, they say, and Brazil's (EWZ) poor performance has managers pulling funds and talking about long-term troubles for the next great country. Money is instead chasing performance in Mexico (EWW), Peru (EPU), and Chile (ECH). A 10% move up in the Bovespa and it's our guess the prospects for Brazil among the adviser crowd will have improved. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, December 31, 2012, 11:51 AM More details on iShares' ETF fee hikes: Going to 0.61% from 0.59% (a 3.4% hike) are its Chile Investable Market Fund (ECH), China Small Cap Fund (ECNS), Indonesia Investable Market Fund (EIDO), Israel Capped Investable Market Fund (EIS), Philippines Investable Market Fund (EPHE) , Poland Investable Market Fund (EPOL), All Peru Capped Fund (EPU), Taiwan Fund (EWT), South Korea Fund (EWY), Brazil Fund (EWZ), Brazil Small Cap Fund (EWZS), South Africa Fund (EZA), Thailand Investable Market Fund (THD) and Turkey Investable Market Fund (TUR). 2 Comments [Global & FX]
Monday, June 25, 2012, 5:34 AM China may have the world's largest online population, but online retailers should focus on Chile first, according to A.T. Kearney, a consulting firm that advises retailers on overseas expansion. For every 10 people online in Chile, seven will buy something online, with the average Chilean household spending $158/year online vs. China's $17. Comment! [Global & FX, Consumer]
Thursday, May 31, 2012, 12:59 PM More on the fund manager survey: Money flowing out of Brazil is moving elsewhere in Latin America as fund managers are overweight Chile, Mexico, and Colombia. Also popular are Taiwan and India. Countries underweight: China, Thailand, Russia South Korea, and Turkey. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, March 15, 2012, 5:59 PM Chile's central bank holds its benchmark interest rate at 5%, in line with expectations. Analysts had been expecting no change due to increasing inflation pressures in the region. In February, the inflation rate hit 4.4% on a 12-month basis, the central bank's inflation target is nearer to 3%, plus or minus one percentage point. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Thursday, December 22, 2011, 2:49 AM Chilean President Sebastian Pinera says Chile will be the first developed country in Latin America, and will achieve the goal by 2020. It's a tall order, which would require growing at least 6% annually and creating 1M new jobs in a labor force of 7.5M people. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, December 20, 2011, 10:10 AM As the Mercosur summit opens in Montevideo, higher tariffs on a slew of products look to be on the way as South America contends with a flood of cheap Asian imports. Argentina and Brazil have already agreed to a considerable boost in the average 14% rate, with just some back-room haggling left to bring other countries on board. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, December 1, 2011, 3:16 PM Chilean central bank chief Jose De Gregorio suggests a change in policy is on the way saying, "we may need a bigger monetary push than at present," in response to events in Europe (and, no doubt the slowdown in China). On the fence for months as other emerging economies have cut, Chile could lower rates as early as December. ECH -1.3%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, November 29, 2011, 3:51 PM Eurozone fallout reaches Chile, where industrial output unexpectedly declined 0.8% in October against an expected increase of 4%. As open of a trade economy as you will find, Chile is especially vulnerable to overseas shocks. Of course no discussion of Chile can go by without mentioning copper and thus mentioning China, so maybe the blame doesn't all go to Europe. ECH -30% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, September 30, 2011, 3:40 PM Latin American markets fell in line with Wall Street and are poised to post steep losses for the quarter. Concern over trade with China and continued meager consumer spending are today's main drags. Q3 Results: Brazil -16%, Mexico - 9.5%, Chile -19%, Argentina -26%. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Tuesday, September 27, 2011, 8:15 AM A surprise rate cut from the Bank of Israel - which noted the global economic slowdown - may auger more easing moves from emerging markets. Brazil and Turkey have also recently surprised with cuts, and other recently tight countries like Chile and China may be next. Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, August 10, 2011, 3:31 PM Canadian stocks decouple from the U.S., rising 1% on the strength of commodity prices and less direct exposure to the plight of European banks. Other major indices in the Americas: Mexico +0.1%, Argentina -0.9%, Brazil +1%, Chile +2.4% 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Monday, August 8, 2011, 2:50 PM Brazil's director of monetary policy says the central bank will maintain its policy of keeping dollar reserves, and will "diversify at the margin." The rout of the U.S. stock market is contagious across the Americas: Brazil -9%, Argentina -8.3%, Chile -7.1%, Mexico -5.1%, Canada -4%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, July 8, 2011, 1:53 PM Bets swing heavily toward a pause in rate hikes in Chile, as the country reports inflation below forecast and lower than in May. CPI rose 0.2%. "My personal opinion is that we are very close to the end" of a rate-hike cycle, says finmin Felipe Larrain, though the central bank has shrugged off his dovish views before. ETF: ECH -1.4%. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Wednesday, May 25, 2011, 9:29 AM Point, counterpoint: Ian Dogan says copper's tremendous post-GFC move combined with high LME stocks continue to make it an attractive short. Going long aluminum may be a good companion trade as it has become an economical alternative to copper. 1 Comment [Commodities]
Friday, May 13, 2011, 4:20 PM The Chilean peso gives up early gains as a "risk off" day outweighs an unexpected 50 basis point hike in the central bank's benchmark rate. Markets had been expecting a 25 point move. Chilean shares ETF: ECH -0.1%. Comment! [Global & FX]
