The S&P IPSA rose 0.82% to 10,482.27 on Thursday May 14, 2026 — a modest recovery after Wednesday’s −2.29% crash. The index took out Wednesday’s low intraday at 10,344 before bouncing to close near the day’s high. The bounce failed to reclaim the 200-day SMA at 10,688. MACD continued to deepen, RSI still oversold. The IPSA is 10.6% below the January 2026 ATH at 11,721.
The Big Three
The S&P IPSA rose 0.82% (+85.77 points) to 10,482.27 — a modest bounce after Wednesday’s −2.29% crash. Intraday range 10,344.04–10,505.29; the index took out Wednesday’s 10,392 low before recovering. The close in the upper third looks constructive, but the high at 10,505 fell well short of the 200-DMA at 10,688.
Momentum continued to deteriorate beneath the price. MACD histogram −18.96 worsened from Wednesday’s −1.62, line −88.31 vs signal −69.35 — bearish crossover deepened. RSI fast 39.03, slow 46.14, both below 50. The picture is worse than Wednesday’s despite the green close — Thursday was a dead-cat bounce, not a reversal.
The structural case is intact on paper. Copper above US$4.50/lb supports the supercycle, NovaAndino Litio (Codelco-SQM JV from December 29, 2025) positions Chile to capture up to 85% of Atacama lithium margins from 2031, and Kast’s 27→23% corporate tax cut is the largest re-rating catalyst. But Chile now trades on global flows; domestic catalysts no longer drive the daily price.
03 Key Movers
Winners
SQM-B recovered some of Wednesday’s −4.5% intraday collapse as lithium flows eased. NovaAndino Litio remains the structural anchor. Banks bid back: Banco de Chile (CHILE) and Santander Chile (BSANTANDER) on curve-steepening easing. Falabella (FALABELLA) bounced after Wednesday’s −1.3% on consumer recovery. Copec (COPEC) held on Brent firm above US$108.
Losers
Defensive utilities gave back Wednesday’s outperformance on rotation. Enel Chile (ENELCHILE) and Engie Chile (ECL) drifted lower. Mallplaza and Parque Arauco — January’s rally leaders — remained under pressure. Cencosud gave back. Breadth was narrow: Thursday’s bounce concentrated in Wednesday’s worst performers.
§04 · Market Commentary
Thursday’s bounce was the weakest of the LatAm reversal sequence. Colombia surged 2.34% on Ecopetrol, Brazil rose 0.72%, Argentina +0.33% on CPI. Chile delivered just 0.82%. The intraday low at 10,344 took out Wednesday’s 10,392 close, the recovery failed at 10,505 (below the 200-DMA at 10,688), MACD continued to deteriorate.
The structural Chile case — copper, NovaAndino, Kast’s tax cut — has not changed. But the IPSA has decisively lost the post-election premium that drove 56% returns in 2025, and now trades entirely on global flows. With the 200-DMA as overhead resistance and the trendline at 10,041 just 4.2% below, the regime has shifted from uptrend to range-bound at best. May INE CPI and BCCh signals are the next domestic catalysts.
05 Technical Analysis
The IPSA closed at 10,482.27 — back inside prior consolidation but below the 200-DMA (10,688), 50-DMA (10,720), and the entire Ichimoku cloud. The intraday low at 10,344 marginally broke Wednesday’s range; the recovery candle failed below 200-DMA resistance. MACD histogram −18.96 worsened from −1.62, line −88.31 vs signal −69.35 — bearish crossover deepened. RSI fast 39.03, slow 46.14. The 10,041 trendline is 4.2% below.
06 Forward Look
07 Questions & Answers
Verdict
Thursday’s bounce relieved mechanical oversold pressure but did not change the structural picture. The IPSA tested below Wednesday’s low, recovered, and stopped well short of the 200-DMA at 10,688. MACD continued to deepen, RSI stayed below 50 — the weakest bounce of the LatAm reversal. The structural case (copper, NovaAndino, Kast tax reform) is intact but not driving the price.
