The IPSA index faces mounting headwinds after a series of bearish developments, most recently Cencosud's Q2 loss driving its shares lower and weighing on the index. This follows a 1.2% drop on July 1 after May economic activity unexpectedly contracted, missing all forecasts and deepening concerns over corporate earnings and domestic demand. The downturn raises the risk of further equity outflows as growth stalls. Earlier, the central bank's rate hold at 4.5% on July 28 signaled economic slowdown, adding pressure despite stable rates providing some relief to indebted companies. However, prior signals were bullish: on June 17, the rate hold removed near-term hike uncertainty, supporting equities; on June 8, a CPI miss boosted rate cut bets, lifting the IPSA 0.8%; and on May 18, mortgage rates hitting a four-year low sparked a rally in bank and construction stocks. The shift from bullish to bearish signals over the past two months reflects deteriorating economic data and sector-specific shocks, with the most recent signals pointing to sustained downside risk.
