Chile bonds draw record foreign inflows as US exodus boosts LatAm appeal

Non-resident holdings of Chilean peso sovereign bonds hit a record $21.04B in August, up $700M month-over-month and 42% YTD, as the 'Sell America' trade and Chile's fiscal reforms attract capital. The surge outpaces other LatAm markets, signaling a portfolio shift favoring Chile's credit. Sustainability depends on continued reform momentum and global risk appetite.
