Kast's Victory in Chile's Election: Market Optimism
Update: 2025-11-17
Description
Chiles presidential elections first round has financial analysts optimistic, with right-wing candidate José Antonio Kast favored to win the second round on December fourteenth. Kasts potential victory could lead to more market-friendly policies, supporting local assets like Chilean bonds and the peso. The peso has gained ground since the beginning of the year but still has room for recovery. The election marks a shift from leftist optimism, with public order and immigration dominating the agenda. A Kast win would bring a government further to the right than any since the Pinochet dictatorship, offering prospects of fiscal consolidation and renewed investment interest.
