Latin American currency and stock markets appreciated, as appetite for risky assets renewed after China’s announcements about COVID that gave hope of improving the situation in the world’s second largest economy.

China said it will speed up vaccination against the COVID-19 virus among the elderly, aiming to overcome a key stumbling block in efforts to ease unpopular “zero-COVID” policy restrictions. The announcement boosted oil prices -an important generator of foreign currency for the region-, which rose 3%.

“There is some relief in the market from the potential reopening in China,” brokerage Acciones y Valores said. “While Beijing did not announce any concrete steps, it has pledged to bolster vaccination among its senior citizens, which is a move seen as crucial to ending the cycle of Covid Zero policy restrictions.”
