Latin American currency outperformance and a new regional cycle

Conviction: 62% · Horizon: 5Y · 2026-07-11
Sustained FX strength outside Argentina and Chile points to an early LatAm macro upswing

Over roughly five years, most Latin American currencies were among the few globally to beat the US dollar and also to outperform developed and other emerging-market FX, with Argentina and Chile as notable exceptions. That pattern is framed as structural rather than random, consistent with the opening phase of a broader Latin America cycle that could support local assets and terms of trade.

Instrument Side Target Reason
ILF Long Broad Latin American equity exposure aligns with a multi-year regional cycle signaled by persistent local currency strength versus the dollar and peer FX, while isolating the Argentina–Chile outliers that did not follow the same FX trend.
