The start of the week kicks off without major local catalysts or early releases to move portfolios. The market is digesting external moves from the prior close and awaiting official foreign trade data scheduled on the economic calendar. In the absence of operational developments, the session is shaping up to be one of transition and technical tracking for domestic assets.
