Brazil's Financial Morning Call For November 10, 2025


(MENAFN- The Rio Times) Brazil's financial markets open today extending a remarkable bullish streak, with the Ibovespa notching its first-ever close above 154,000 points on Friday despite global jitters from a prolonged U.S. government shutdown and faltering tech leadership.

Toyota's restart of vehicle assembly after a 40-day storm-induced shutdown-prioritizing Corolla and Corolla Cross hybrids with imported powertrains-restores cash flow across São Paulo's auto corridor, stabilizes supplier contracts, and aligns with Brazil's hybrid and flex-fuel push, curbing wait times and protecting market share without abandoning local content.

The real advanced as October's IGP-DI dipped 0.03%, cooling price pressures, while Petrobras' earnings beat and R$12.2 billion interim dividends underscored disciplined capital allocation. China's resumption of Brazilian chicken imports provided a trade tailwind, boosting protein exporters.

Today's economic agenda centers on the BCB Focus readout, which aggregates market forecasts for inflation, GDP growth, Selic rate path, and other key variables-pivotal amid ongoing fiscal prudence debates, high carry attractiveness, and a steadier macro tone that could influence real stability near 5.33 and export competitiveness.

U.S. wholesale inventories and trade sales will clarify inventory builds and demand trends impacting Brazil's industrial trade, while the WASDE report offers critical grain and oilseed supply-demand updates directly affecting Brazil's agribusiness outlook and global pricing for soy and corn exporters.



Brazil's BCB Focus Market Readout at 6:25 AM EST (7:25 AM BRT) aggregates expectations for inflation, GDP, and rates-critical as local price signals ease and trade surpluses support the real.

U.S. wholesale data at 10:00 AM EST (11:00 AM BRT) will gauge inventory and sales momentum amid shutdown delays, relevant for Brazil's machinery and metals flows. The WASDE at 12:00 PM EST (1:00 PM BRT) details global crop balances, essential for Brazil's commodity pricing and export planning.

Brazil's Market on Friday
Brazil's equity market notched a first-ever close above 154,000 points on Friday, extending a remarkable run even as overseas sentiment wobbled.

The Ibovespa rose 0.47% to 154,063.53, securing a 13th straight advance and a tenth consecutive record. The dollar eased to 5.3357 reais onshore as local price pressures cooled, with October's IGP-DI dipping 0.03%.

The day belonged to Petrobras. Quarterly earnings beat expectations and the board approved 12.2 billion reais in interim dividends, a reminder that disciplined capital allocation and shareholder returns still matter in Brazil's flagship companies.

Shares of the oil major jumped, pulling the index higher into the close and overshadowing a soft global tone shaped by a prolonged U.S. government shutdown and a sharp drop in U.S. consumer confidence.

Investors also cheered a trade tailwind: China moved to resume imports of Brazilian chicken, sparking gains in protein names and underscoring the payoff from supply-side competitiveness and open markets.

U.S. Markets on Friday
U.S. stock markets closed mixed on Friday, November 7, 2025, with the S&P 500 rising 0.13% to 6,728.80, the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.16% to 46,987.10, and the Nasdaq Composite slipping 0.21% to 23,004.54.

All three major indexes recorded their first weekly loss in four weeks, as concerns over high valuations in AI and tech stocks, combined with the ongoing 38-day government shutdown, weighed on investor sentiment.

The shutdown has delayed key economic reports, including the October jobs data, while consumer confidence fell to a three-year low. For the week, the S&P 500 dropped ~1.6%, the Dow lost ~1.2%, and the Nasdaq fell 3.0%.
