EconomyColombian stocks slip after earthquake; LatAm assets muted

Colombian equities moved lower after a major earthquake struck on Monday. The disaster killed at least 20 people and caused widespread damage across the country. Latin American assets were otherwise muted as investors remained concerned that the conflict in the Middle East could drag on. The market reaction combined the immediate impact of the earthquake with broader regional caution over the prolonged conflict.
