Oct 31 (Reuters) -Most currencies in Latin America lacked momentum on Thursday, and were ontrack for monthly losses, while Colombia's peso fell following a 50-basis-point interest rate cut by the country's central bank.

The Colombian peso COP= was down nearly 0.3% against the U.S. dollar =USD, hitting its lowest level since June 2023.

Colombia's central delivered a widely expected 50-bps rate cut at 9.75%, citing economic uncertainties from U.S. elections, while also revising its 2024 growth prediction upward and trimming its inflation forecast.

MSCI's index tracking Latam currencies .MILA00000CUS was up 0.2%, while the stocks gauge .MILA00000PUS was down 0.7%.

Both the indexes were on track for their worst monthly performance since June, hurt primarily by risk aversion ahead of a tight U.S. presidential race next week.

Some investors have increasingly bet that Republican candidate Donald Trump will win, helping to lift the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields, although he is still neck and neck with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in several polls.

Analysts see Trump at loggerheads with most left-leaning governments in the region and his policies on trade, security and migration are consideredinflationary and unfriendly totrading partners.

"Markets continue to be in a mini regime of heightened volatility ahead of U.S. elections, with polling outcomes still very close to 50-50. The risk appetite remains low as the results can be binary, especially for some EM jurisdictions," Goldman Sachs analysts noted.

"We think that rates will continue to trade in a range to slightly higher."

Brazil's real BRL= dipped 0.3% against the greenback,on track for its fifth-straight day in the red.

The country's labor market is posting blockbuster numbers ahead of next week's rate decision, amid bets of a sped-up monetary tightening due to inflationary risks.

Data showed Brazil's jobless rate fell to 6.4% in the three months through September, below market expectations and marking the second-lowest unemployment level on record.

Brazilian lender Bradesco's BBDC4.SA shares fell nearly 4%, even after posting a slightly higher-than-expected third-quarter net income , dragging the country's main stock index .BVSP 0.6% down to a one-week low.

Mexico's peso MXN= climbed 0.6% against thedollar, firmingafter a four-day losing streak, but still hovering over 20-per-dollar mark.

Set for its fourth monthly decline in five, the peso has been the most sensitive to volatility in the run-upto U.S. elections. Analysts expect a Donald Trump victory toquickly weaken the peso to more than 21-per-dollar.

Amid an ongoing judicial overhaul, the country's lower house of Congress approved a measure that makes changes to the constitution "unchallengeable."
