MSCI's index of Latin American currencies was down 1.7%, trading at a four-month low in its biggest daily loss since February, while the index tracking stocks fell 3.2% to a five-month low in its worst day since December.
* Brazil's industrial output rises less than expected * Argentina's bonds, peso hit ahead of elections * Colombia August exports fall * Latam FX down 1%, stocks down 1.6% By Amruta Khandekar and Johann M Cherian Oct 3 (Reuters) - Latin American currencies were dragged lower on Tuesday by worries about the U.S. interest rate path and lacklustre copper prices, with the Brazilian real dropping to an over four-month low after softer-than-expected industrial output data. MSCI's index of Latin American currencies was down 1.0% by 1447 GMT, falling for the second day in a row. Latin American assets are at multi-month lows as investors flee risky assets in favour of the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields on expectations that the Federal Reserve would keep monetary policy restrictive for longer.
* Chile's economic activity back in negative territory in Aug * Peruvian inflation eases to lowest level in more than two years * Latam FX down 1.3%, stocks down 2.2% (Updated at 3:45 pm ET/1945 GMT) By Johann M Cherian and Lisa Pauline Mattackal Oct 2 (Reuters) - Latin American markets started the fourth-quarter in the red on Monday as the dollar continued its march upwards and oil prices tumbled, with the Chilean and Colombian currencies eyeing their worst day since June. Chile's peso fell 2%, its biggest daily decline in nearly four months, after the IMACEC economic activity index, a proxy for gross domestic product, slipped by 0.9% in August on an annual basis, as the Andean country's economy stutters following a rapid post-pandemic recovery.
