Key Market Events for the Week of August 10–14, 2026
Colombian CPI, Brazilian inflation and Copom minutes, and US CPI set the tone for a week where the dollar and global rates steer Latin American assets. The post Key Market Events for the Week of August 10–14, 2026 appeared first on The Rio Times .
Key market events unfolded during the week of August 10–14, 2026, with inflation data from Colombia, Brazil, and the United States taking center stage. Colombia's Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July came in at 6.2 percent, slightly below expectations of 6.20 percent, suggesting slower rate cuts are not on the horizon. Brazil's Copom minutes, released four hours before the July IPCA, provided valuable insight into the committee's reasoning and inflation print, while Argentina's CPI for July followed a 1.9 percent June and a 33.5 percent annual rate, with no consensus yet published.
Peru's central bank decided on Thursday's rate from a 4.25 percent starting point, without a published forecast. The week's focal point was the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Wednesday, with a core rate expected to rise to 0.2 percent monthly and annual core easing to 2.5 percent. Regional inflation was not moving uniformly, with Colombia's annual rate forecast to increase, Brazil nearing the top of its target band, and Argentina's monthly pace falling below 2 percent.
The week's outcome would be heavily influenced by the US core rate's reaction and the sharp divergence in regional inflation trends.
