  "account": "On Tuesday, 29 September 2026, Chile's stock market experienced a decline, with the S&P IPSA — Santiago's benchmark index — closing 0.73% lower at 11,055.91 points. This marked the fourth consecutive day of losses for the index, which has now fallen 4.9% below its 52-week high of 11,628 points, set on 28 January. Meanwhile, the Chilean peso weakened by 0.48% to 972.98 per US dollar, its weakest level in over a year as the US dollar strengthened. The dollar index rose 0.17%, and US ten-year Treasury yields remained near 5.25%. Financial and retail shares suffered the most significant declines, with Banco de Chile dropping 2.8%, Falabella falling 2.5%, and fuel distributor Copec losing 2.1%. Despite the negative sentiment, lithium miner SQM-B gained 1.4%. The situation was driven by the stronger US dollar, which gained 0.17% to 101.37, and the US ten-year Treasury yield of 5.249%. High US yields attract investments away from emerging markets, and copper prices also contributed to the peso's decline, as Comex copper futures ended 0.3% lower at US$6.54 per pound. No major Chile-specific events triggered the market's downturn, with the weakening dollar, concentration of selling in domestic companies, and lack of copper support being the key factors.",
