Soft Dollar And Trade Thaw Lift Brazil Stocks To Records
(MENAFN- The Rio Times) Brazil's market entered Tuesday on the front foot after a record close, with Ibovespa futures near 149,800 and the real around 5.37 per dollar.
The rally looks simple from afar, but it rests on three reinforcing currents: a weaker global dollar, friendlier trade optics, and a small but meaningful improvement in Brazil's inflation outlook.
When the dollar slips, emerging-market funding costs ease and Brazil's equity risk premium compresses. That tailwind met encouraging weekend signals on trade-both a thaw in U.S.–China tensions and a cordial Lula–Trump meeting seen as opening a channel to discuss tariffs.
At home, the central bank 's Focus survey nudged 2025 inflation expectations down to 4.56%, helping local rates edge lower.
Cash turnover reached R$16.49 billion ($3.11 billion), and the main U.S.-listed Brazil ETF has drawn roughly $285 million over the past month, pointing to returning foreign interest.
The day's winners and losers explained the texture of the move. Usiminas (USIM5) rose 10.53% on a post-earnings rerating and firmer metals sentiment. MBRF (MBRF3) gained 6.45% on Middle East expansion in its halal business.
Brazil's Rally Gains Momentum as Softer Dollar Fuels Cyclicals
Magazine Luiza (MGLU3) added 5.45%, CVC (CVCB3) climbed 3.91%, and CSN (CSNA3) advanced 3.36% as cyclicals benefited from easier rates and the softer dollar.
On the downside, Raízen (RAIZ4) fell 2.06% after a credit-rating downgrade focused investors on leverage. Yduqs (YDUQ3) slipped 1.96%, Klabin (KLBN11) eased 1.06% amid softer pulp peers, Hypera (HYPE3) declined 0.97%, and Cogna (COGN3) edged 0.86% lower.
Technicals align with the narrative. On the daily chart, the index sits above its 20-, 50-, and 200-day moving averages and rides the upper Bollinger band after an October retest of the 50-day-an intact uptrend with room toward 148,000–150,000 if momentum holds.
The four-hour chart is stretched, with RSI near 70, arguing for a pause; dips that hold about 145,000 keep the structure constructive. The broader story for readers abroad: Brazil is rallying not just on emotion.
A softer dollar, slightly better inflation expectations, and concrete company catalysts are pulling in the same direction. If the dollar's retreat persists and rates remain steady, foreign money is likely to keep following.
