  "account": "Chile's main stock index, the IPSA, fell 2.76% on Friday, 30 October, marking its third consecutive lower close. This decline put the index at its lowest level in at least three months and was a more significant drop than those observed in Brazil, Mexico, or Colombia. The local currency, the Chilean peso, weakened by 0.52% to 993.37 per US dollar, nearing its 12-month low of 995.39 pesos per dollar. The primary reason behind the market sell-off was a global trend affecting US technology shares, following poor results from Intel and Amazon. These companies raised concerns about the cost of artificial intelligence investments, causing the S&P 500 to decline by 1.82%. Chile's airline, LATAM, large retailers, and the nation's lithium producer were hit the hardest by the market downturn. Copper production in September fell by 15.1% compared to the previous year, continuing a trend of three consecutive monthly declines. The decline in gold prices also contributed to the overall market weakness. For US investors, Chile is seen as a market influenced by copper and risk appetite, with the ECH fund falling by 2.20%. The index has dropped 4.58% in the last five sessions and 6.00% over 20 sessions, indicating a trend rather than a one-day shock. The peso lost 0.52% against the US dollar, and the dollar gained 8.8% over the past 60 sessions. Analysts attribute the main cause to the global sell-off in technology shares, while copper production and regional movements toward Latin American assets are considered secondary factors. The upcoming Monday's Economic Activity index for September will be closely watched, with forecasts predicting a 2% decline.",
