Chile's main stock index, the S&P IPSA, climbed 0.50% to reach 10,590 points, marking its second consecutive gain. Meanwhile, the local peso strengthened by 0.96% to 967.23 per US dollar. However, this positive sentiment comes with some caveats, as the index has slipped 4.11% over 20 sessions and is 8.9% below its 12-month high of 11,628, reached in January 2026.
Conversely, the index is 11.9% above its 12-month low of 9,460, recorded on November 6, 2025. The market's upward movement was driven by foreign factors, with the S&P 500 in the US rising 2.35%, the VIX fear gauge falling 22.31% to 19.92, and the dollar index weakening 0.61%. For Chilean residents, a stronger peso makes imported goods and foreign travel slightly cheaper, while making Chilean assets a bit more expensive for foreign investors.
The S&P IPSA's rise is modest compared to Brazil's 2.22% gain. The stronger global dollar and a calmer Wall Street also contributed to the peso's rise, but the market's rebound is relatively modest against the month-long decline.
