The Chilean peso traded in a narrow band against the US dollar over the last 24 hours, closing at 935.95 CLP per USD on June 16, 2025, according to official market data.The session saw the peso fluctuate between a low of 935.68 and a high of 938.85, with the market showing little appetite for risk or directional change.
This stability followed several days of similar price action, with the peso maintaining a tight range near the 936 mark.Technical analysis of both the 4-hour and daily charts confirms this consolidation.
The 4-hour chart shows the price oscillating just below the 50-period moving average, while the 200-period moving average remains well above current levels, signaling a longer-term bearish trend for the dollar.The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on both timeframes sits around 47-49, indicating neutral momentum and neither overbought nor oversold conditions.The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on the daily chart remains negative, with the signal line slightly above the MACD line, reinforcing the absence of strong bullish momentum for the dollar.

Macroeconomic fundamentals continue to support the pesos resilience.Chiles Peso Steadies Amid Cautious Central Bank PolicyChiles central bank has maintained a cautious monetary stance, keeping its policy rate at 5% after a series of cuts in 2024.
Recent inflation data for May showed a 0.2% month-on-month increase, in line with expectations, while projections for June suggest a possible negative print, driven by seasonal factors and a drop in international air transport prices.The central banks latest forecasts point to inflation ending 2025 at 3.6%, with GDP growth expected between 1.5% and 2.5%.
These projections, combined with steady domestic demand and improved investment outlooks, have helped anchor the peso.Commodity prices, especially copper, remain a key support for the Chilean currency.
Strong global demand for copper continues to underpin export revenues, reducing the need for central bank intervention.Historical data shows the peso closely tracks copper prices, and this trend has persisted through the current period.
In summary, the Chilean pesos stability over the past day reflects a market in balance, with neither technical nor fundamental forces strong enough to drive a breakout.Traders remain focused on upcoming inflation data and global commodity trends for direction.
As long as these factors remain aligned, the peso is likely to continue trading within its established range.
