Key Quotes
“Peru central bank meets Thursday and is expected to keep rates steady at 3.25%. However, a small handful looks for a 25 hike”.
“August CPI rose 4.0% y/y vs. 3.56% in July. This is well above the 1-3% target range. With inflation moving further above target, we think the chances of a hawkish surprise is possible, though our base case is steady rates”.
“At its August meeting, the central bank adopted a hawkish bias while leaving rates steady at 3.25%”.
