Aug 15 (Reuters) -Stocks and currencies in Latin America rose on Thursday after stronger than expected U.S. retail sales data calmed fears about a slowdown in the world's largest economy, while gains in commodity prices lifted regional currencies.

MSCI's index of Latin American stocks .MSCIEF jumped 0.8% and was on track for an eighth session of gains.

Local bourses rose, with Argentina's Merval .MERV, Brazil's Bovespa .BVSP, Colombia's Colcap .COLCAP and Mexican stocks .MXX up between 0.5% and 1.9%.

U.S. retail sales data jumped more than expected in July and jobless claims slipped, pointing to a still-resilient economy. That soothed worries about slowing demand which had unnerved markets over the past few weeks, while reinforcing the case for the Federal Reserve to ease policy in September.

"Investors are breathing a sigh of relief this morning, letting recent worries of economic softness subside ... today’s reports should buy (the Fed) some time until the September meeting," said Bret Kenwell, U.S. investment analyst at eToro.

Most Latin American stock indices have all but recovered losses from a steep selloff earlier in the month.

Currencies in the region also gained, as rising prices of oil and copper boosted producers.

Brazil's real BRBY gained 0.2%. Mexico's peso MXN= rose 0.7%, while Colombia's peso COP= edged 0.1% higher ahead of the release of gross domestic product data, with both currencies trading at multi-week highs.

Analysts forecast Colombia's economy grew 2.2% in the second quarter of 2024 from the same period a year earlier.

"I think there are some reasons for optimism, to see even a little improvement in some industries will be a very welcome development in a country that has failed recently to provide many positive announcements," said Carlos Huesca, LatAm director at research firm EmergingMarketWatch.

Peru's sol PEN=PE lagged, however, slipping 0.3%. Data showed the country's GDP rose 0.2% in June on an annual basis, slowing from 5% in the prior month.

The U.S. data also soothed concerns about a slowdown in China's economy after weaker data earlier in the day.

China's central bank governor said policymakers would stick to supportive monetary policy and aim to help consumers' financing needs.

Israel's shekel ILS= strengthened to a near three-week high against the dollar as a new round of Gaza ceasefire talks began in Qatar.

Elsewhere, Nigeria's headline inflation rate fell in July for the first time in well over a year, potentially signaling inflation has peaked as currency devaluation effects start to fade.

Local markets in Chile were closed for a holiday.
