Wall Street opened with strong gains and the Chilean IPSA index surpassed the historic 7,900-point mark as investors responded positively to a more moderate tone from former President Donald Trump. Throughout the trading day on April 23, 2025, the IPSA continued to rise, closing above 7,900 points, reflecting renewed risk appetite among market participants. The rally in Chile's stock market contributed to a broader surge in global markets, with Santiago's exchange hitting record levels amid signals of reduced political confrontation from Trump. The Chilean stock market has extended its year-to-date gains to 26%, prompting some investors to consider shifting focus away from U.S. megacaps toward opportunities in Latin America. This trend aligns with growing optimism about the economic prospects of the region's three largest economies, signaling what some analysts refer to as a 'Golden Age' for Latin America.
