CHILE: Peso Breaks 500 Per $ USD Barrier... On Surprizing 6.5% GDP Growth.

BLOOMBERG/ Sebastian Boyd and Randy Woods/
       Chile’s peso broke the 500 pesos per usd barrier for the first time since January after its GDP expanded by a surprizing 6.5% in Q2-- the fastest pace in five years. The peso is the world's fastest-rising currency this month, even beating gold. But some believe the peso has overshot its true value -- a range of 500 to 510--that is closer to its economy.
