Country Risk
Today's Premium Audio Brief looks at the political and energy stress behind the numbers, from Peru and Colombia’s narrow mandates to the wider risk map investors cannot afford to treat as one market.
Brazil

Mexico

US-LatAm
USMCA is likely to survive, but the 2026 review is changing the logic of North American trade. Washington is not treating the pact as a simple renewal exercise. The United States is using the process to press Mexico and Canada on rules of origin, China-linked inputs, tariffs, and economic security.

Brazil

Weekend Sentinel
