The bottom line
Markets rebound together. After two weeks of selling, Latin America bounced as oil steadied and the dollar’s long climb paused — Chile led, Argentina neared a record and Brazil sprang off its floor, with only Mexico left behind.
Mexico opens the World Cup. The tournament kicks off tonight at the Azteca; the capital has shut offices and schools, even as Mexico’s market was the day’s lone decliner.
Politics stays split. Lula has regained his polling lead in Brazil and Colombia ended a 124-day tariff war with Ecuador, but Milei’s reform bill stalled in the Senate, Peru’s runoff is unresolved and Bolivia’s capital is cut off into a seventh week.
