Oct 8 (Reuters) -Currencies of resources-rich Latin America slipped on Tuesday, tracking a drop incommodity prices, while investors weighed the implications for Brazil's monetary policy with left-leaning Gabriel Galipolo at the helm of the country's central bank.
MSCI's index of LatinAmerican currencies .MILA00000CUS slipped 0.6% to hit a two-week low, with iron ore producer Brazil's real BRL= down 0.7% at a two-week low againstthe dollar.
Iron ore futures fell as some investors unwound long positions to lock in profits, while disappointment at a lack of detailed fiscal stimulus from top consumer China also weighed. IRONORE/
Meanwhile, the Brazilian Senate's Economic Affairs Committee approved President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's nominee Galipolo to head the central bank starting in January.
"Last year when his name first surfaced, people were nervous because he seems to have a very close relationship with the labor party in Brazil. But then this year, he has made some more hawkish statements," said Eduardo Ordonez Bueso, an emerging markets debt portfolio manager at BankInvest.
"The closer we get to elections, I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a little more accommodative in policy decisions."
Mexico's peso MXN= dipped 0.1% in choppy trading ahead of a domestic inflation reading on Wednesday.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum late on Monday said that she had sent two proposals to Congress to implement constitutional reform of the judiciary by tweaking electoral laws.
Copper producer Chile's peso CLP= weakened 0.46% after data showed consumer prices in the country rose less than expected in September, paving the way for the central bank to keep reducing borrowing costs when it isslated to meet next week.
Oil producer Colombia's peso COP= slipped0.25% as crude oil prices eased after a recent rally to fall over 4%. O/R
Data late on Monday showed Colombia's consumer prices rose by a less than expected 5.81%in September.
Most equities in the region were also lower, with MSCI's gauge .MIEM00000PUS down 0.87% to touch more than a three-week low, with Mexican stocks .MXX dropping 0.63%.
Brazil's Bovespa .BVSP lost 0.27%, although airlineAzul AZUL4.SA jumped around 9.6% after it announced a debt deal with lessors.
Bourses in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina .MERV, Chile .SPIPSA and Peru .SPBLPGPT ended the third quarter on an upbeat note.
Bueso said that regional stocks are well positioned to rally further given China's recent stimulus efforts, further interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and with inflation under control in most Latin American economies.
Markets in Peru were closed for a public holiday.
