The Lima Stock Exchange (BVL) posted positive indicators at the start of trading on Thursday, moving in the opposite direction to Wall Street, which recorded losses.
The divergence marks a shift from recent sessions, where Peru's primary market had mirrored the volatility gripping US equities.
According to local reporting from Agencia Andina, the BVL showed strength despite the broader risk-off tone in global markets.
This decoupling suggests that domestic factors or specific sector rotations may be driving investor sentiment in Peru, rather than the macro headwinds weighing on US stocks.
The move follows a period where the BVL had opened in negative territory, closely tracking the profit-taking and volatility seen in New York.
The reversal indicates that the correlation between Lima and US markets may be weakening, offering a potential haven for regional investors seeking exposure to Latin American equities without direct US market risk.
