As the mania of “American exclusive”, Europe and even China have emerged new directions for capital. But this year the world’s best performance region is Latin America, and it is missing from global conversation. In the face of the dollar, its shares are 21%, in the second place, the average return of Europe and 6% in developing markets.

After lighting the meteorite of the US market in recent years, global investors want to reimburse the capital of the capital, including Latin America. Most of the region are low in President Donald Trump tariff targets, he refugees from commercial wars. But perhaps the least estimated reason that his markets are well moving is a policy.

Former Chilean President Sebastian Pichera once told me that Latin America was “left in good times, in the right times.” After Roaring since the 2000s, the “Pink Channel” brought the government very left-wing populists, who are headed by the region in the last decade. The growth of productivity has become deep negative, the worst of any region. The political channel on Cue turns again.

On the left side, powerful leaders remain their left instinct, under market pressure. Last year Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva promised a day a gift; He now shows some signs of fiscal discipline. Advanced Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum offers “Republican Strict”, in general, with more business postures than its predecessor, Andres Manuel Luze Obrador.

Other countries are decisively turning into a traditional right to limited management and free market reform. Although it is often thrown as a Latin example of Trump, Argentina Javier Miley causes trade transactions, which are not a tariff increase, which can strengthen the government, not immediately. The result. Dramatic turns in the country’s economy and financial markets.

The share of voters who say the best way to “market economy”, which arose with an unusual height, 66 percent. This mood transition to the right comes to the critical moment. This year and the next, the schedule of extremely busy elections in Latin America is taking place, where 85 percent of the GDP of the region are conducting surveys.

Last month, Individual Individual Daniel Nobo suddenly won the enemy who could have close ties with former President Rafael Korea, who has been convicted of exiles now. Next, Argentina, where the expectations are great for Miley to win in October victory.

The Miley Model is ignited by the region, social media. In Chile, the right of the right elections are the right challenges. Frrontrunner Evelyn Matthei is fiscely conservative, who avoids improvisation and his closest opponent, Johannes Kayes, is even more.

Applicants to the elections are everything on the right. Colombia has its first balance since independence since independence, Gustavo Petro, and its steps have bombed the tax deficit to increase state control over health. Petro’s selected successor vote behind two candidates, the mayor of the former Bogotan widely praised the responsible state expenditures.

Peru is such a scene. The deep field manages the challenges on the right and the current Dina Boluarte is even a tougher attack. He is accused of corruption and indifference, as many Peruvians are fighting for food to buy food by 3%, possibly the worst of the world. The first three competitions of all competitors are classified as “Kentron”.

Recently, Lula’s approval rating was recently struck at all its time in Brazil. The economy is growing, but the voters are angry with prices and crime. In October of last October, voters were converted to the left and more sharply moderate right than to the right. Lula, a 79-year-old Lula, has probably replaced the leader in the leading year’s ballot.

With the far growing growth of the West, it is noteworthy that Latin America does not turn into the trumpet’s closed economy. It contributes to the leaders more traditional agendas based on free markets and open economies. This increases its detrimental growth in the region and to attract capital in the world of this post-Armenian uniqueness in the world.
