Brazilian Market Holds Gains Amid Global Trade Tensions
(MENAFN- The Rio Times) The Ibovespa index closed Tuesday, April 15, with a modest decline of 0.16%, settling at 129,245.39 points after gaining 1.39% in the previous session.
Market data shows investors traded cautiously while awaiting Vale's quarterly earnings report and the presentation of Brazil's 2026 federal budget. Global tensions weighed on market sentiment as the trade dispute between the United States and China intensified.
President Donald Trump accused Beijing of reneging on agreements with American farmers and Boeing. China retaliated by ordering domestic airlines to halt deliveries of Boeing aircraft, adding pressure to global markets.
The dollar strengthened against the Brazilian real, ending the day at R$5.89, a gain of 0.66%. This movement reflected investor concerns about emerging markets amid heightened international trade frictions.
Technical indicators show the Ibovesp trading in a lateral channel between 127,500 and 130,000 points. The index currently sits 5.99% below its historical peak reached in August 2024.
Trading volume reached R$16.8 billion ($2.8 billion), slightly below April's daily average of R$17.5 billion ($2.9 billion). Despite external pressures, the Brazilian market maintains attractive fundamentals.
Brazilian Market Rebounds
Current market capitalization stands at R$4.2 trillion ($700 billion) with a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.4 times, substantially below historical averages. Foreign investors showed renewed interest with net inflows of R$450 million ($75 million), breaking a five-day streak of outflows.
Materials and technology sectors led gains with respective increases of 8.45% and 5.89% over recent sessions. Energy stocks underperformed with a 0.44% decline, while telecommunications plummeted 28.53%.
Azul emerged as the day's standout performer with a 3.82% gain, extending Monday's impressive 12.33% surge. The airline benefited from Trump's signals about potential automotive sector tariff suspensions.
IRB Brasil Resseguros added 2.25% after releasing promising operational data. Mining company CSN Mineração rose 1.88% ahead of Vale's earnings report.
Industrial firm WEG gained 1.65%, supported by positive analyst assessments of its international performance. On the downside, Petrobras fell 1.95% amid weakening global oil prices and dividend policy uncertainties.
Meat processor Minerva dropped 1.78%, extending losses after Goldman Sachs downgraded the stock from "buy" to "neutral." Vale shares retreated 1.15% as traders took profits before its quarterly report release.
Investors now focus on Vale's production figures and Brazil's 2026 budget presentation. Both events could significantly influence market direction in coming sessions while players continue monitoring the evolving trade dispute between the world's largest economies.
