Latin American markets finished Friday with generally positive performances as stronger commodity prices and improving global risk appetite supported investor sentiment across much of the region.
Brazil and Mexico lead
Brazilian equities benefited from gains in mining and energy companies as iron ore and oil prices remained relatively firm. Mexico also posted gains, supported by industrial exporters and financial stocks, while investors continued to assess the outlook for US economic growth and trade.
Several Andean markets also recorded modest advances, helped by improving sentiment towards emerging markets and stable commodity demand.
External drivers remain key
Regional investors continued to monitor developments in the United States, particularly the approaching earnings season and expectations surrounding Federal Reserve policy. Commodity markets also remained an important influence, given Latin America’s significant exposure to exports of oil, copper, iron ore and agricultural products.
Looking ahead
Latin American markets begin the new week supported by relatively healthy global risk appetite, although investors remain alert to geopolitical developments that could affect commodity prices and international capital flows.
