07:29 AM EDT, 09/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Chile's central bank (BCCh) held its overnight rate at 4.75% as widely anticipated late Tuesday, said Scotiabank.

The BCCh batted away Monday's weaker-than-expected inflation readings for August, noted the bank.

Instead, the BCCh indicated a desire to gather more information on tariffs and other effects on inflation before contemplating any potential further easing while revising up future core consumer price index expectations, stated Scotiabank.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
