Colombia's central bank quarterly report says inflation in developed economies surprised to the upside in Q1 2024 and remains above targets. Major central banks signaled they may keep policy rates high for longer, lifting market expectations of a higher rate path and pushing government bond prices down in most countries.
Higher-for-longer rates strengthen the US dollar and tighten financing conditions, which can weigh on Latin American currencies and feed costs for importers of feed ingredients.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
