# Peru: mining price boom, rate at 4.25% and El Niño

> Peru's central bank held its benchmark rate at 4.25% at its October session, unchanged for over a year. Inflation rose to 4.5% in September from 4.4% in August, driven by higher fuel and electricity prices, while mining export values surged 58.6% year on year in January-May.

## Why it matters

Mining export receipts are strong on price rather than volume, and El Niño is trimming growth forecasts, which weighs on the outlook for Peru's economy and currency. Fishing disruption from El Niño is a separate feed-relevant risk for fishmeal supply.
