* Latam stocks up 0.2%, FX down 0.1% By Lisa Pauline Mattackal Dec 31 - Latin American markets were mixed on Tuesday, with indexes tracking the region's stocks and currencies set for steep annual declines, as prospects for fewer U.S. rate cuts lifted the dollar and capped a turbulent year for the region. Latin American markets have sharply underperformed broader emerging markets this year, with the regional stocks and currency indexes set for yearly losses of 30.5% and 11.3%, respectively. Brazil's real, the worst regional performer, slumped 27.3% against the dollar and is hovering around record lows in its worst year since 2020.
