Business & Markets
WEEK IN FIGURES
US stocks and most Latin American indices closed higher on Monday 9 November. Argentina was the exception.
The volatility gauge fell sharply and the dollar weakened, which helped the Mexican, Chilean and Colombian currencies. The real and the Argentine peso were roughly flat.
Gold and silver rose, while US long-term borrowing costs rose too. We could not confirm the stories behind these moves. Brazil’s IGP-DI inflation index (previous 1.5%) was also due on Monday, but the reading was not yet available (RT economic calendar, RT market data).
