The bottom line
Latin America closed the week resilient. As a tech-led selloff dragged Wall Street and oil fell about 4%, global money rotated into cheap value, lifting Brazil’s Ibovespa 0.76% to a fresh record 173,295 and steadying most of the region while the S&P 500 finished flat.
The weekend turned political. Argentina’s cabinet chief Manuel Adorni resigned over undeclared savings, and Bolivia ended its decade-old dollar peg in a roughly 30% devaluation to back an IMF deal.
Venezuela’s tragedy deepened. The June 24 earthquake’s toll soared past 1,400 dead with a $6.7 billion damage bill, even as US warships returned to the coast with aid and Washington eased some sanctions.
