Chilean Peso Rally Reflects Copper Rally

Claus Vistesen reports on the strong performance of the Chilean peso, something which he appears to attribute to the Chilean government saving the windfall from the previously very high price of copper (copper is Chile's main export product).

A more obvious and important factor would however be the fact that after a dramatic price decline late last year, the price of copper has recovered, rising some 40% in 3 months.
