BRAZIL: Ibovespa Rises With Expectation For Discussion Of Pension Reform
Ibovespa, the benchmark stock market index in Brazil, closed up 1.57% at 74,594.61 points on Tuesday amid a better external scene and investors' view that president Michel Temer is closer to get the pension reform bill voted in the House of Representatives later this year.
"In the external scenario, it was a very positive day for risky assets. There was news that led to a positive expectation on the pension reform bill, which could be voted at the beginning of December, giving the market a boost," said Rafael Passos, an analyst at Guide Investimentos.
According to H. Commcor's chief operating officer, Ari Santos, the cabinet reform promoted by Temer leads the market to believe that he would have the political strength to pass the pension reform bill.
According to Santos, the expiry of stock options brought selling pressure at the end of the trading session.
For Wednesday, Passos sees Ibovespa keeping the upward trend, once the political scene continues to corroborate the purchase. Santos foresees space for profit-taking and expects a fall for Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the locally traded U.S. dollar closed down for the third consecutive trading session (-0.36%), at R$ 3.252, reflecting an increase in the expectation of the pension reform bill's approval and a quieter external scenario, with a drop in the greenback against emerging currencies.

ARGENTINA: China Reduces Tariffs On Food Imports
The Chinese government has cut import tariffs for food products as of December 1, a decision that favors some of Argentina's exports, according to the South American country.
The regulations establish lower temporary tariffs aimed at reducing prices and stimulating spending of the final consumer on 187 products that China has to import.
According to the Argentinean government, there was a tariff reduction on 32 items that favor the country - for example, frozen shrimp (from 5% to 2%). That is one of the main export products of the Argentinean fishing sector to China. In the dairy sector, the tariff has been reduced for all cheeses, except for fresh ones.
In food and beverages, there will be a reduction in the tariffs for uncooked pasta, without egg (mainly comprising dried pasta) homogenized whiskey, said the Ministry of Agribusiness of Argentina.

COLOMBIA: Colcap Trades 1.34% Lower Due To Ecopetrol's Underperformance
Colcap, the main index of the Colombian Stock Exchange, fell 1.34% to 1,576.89 points near to the closing of Tuesday's session, due to the fall in Ecopetrol's shares.

The locally traded U.S. dollar closed at 2,851.15 Colombian pesos, marking a 0.47% rise due to the drop in oil prices abroad.
