The iShares MSCI Peru and Global Exposure ETF has a significant concentration in copper-related stocks, which have seen a boost in prices due to supply constraints. This has been beneficial for companies such as Southern Copper and has contributed to the performance of the EPU ETF. The increase in copper prices also helps to bolster the Peruvian Sol, lessening the impact of interest rate cuts on financial institutions like Credicorp.
