Vale surged 5.36% to 15.91, buoyed by rising iron ore demand from China amid stimulus expectations. Petrobras dipped 0.29% to 20.75 despite WTI crude jumping 7.01% to 107.14 on global supply concerns.
USD/BRL fell 0.53% to 5.17, reflecting broader EM currency strength, while EUR/BRL declined 0.85% to 5.95. Gold prices dropped 2.68% to 4,654.80, pressuring mining-related assets slightly. Bitcoin slid 2.37% to 66,463.04, but overall risk-on sentiment prevailed without key data releases.

The Day Ahead
Investors eye Brazil's industrial production month-over-month at 04:00 ET, with consensus at 0.7% versus previous 1.8%. A softer print could signal manufacturing slowdown, potentially weighing on Bovespa and strengthening calls for Selic easing. No other major releases are scheduled, keeping focus on this medium-impact indicator for insights into Q1 growth momentum.
Tomorrow brings no events, so markets may digest global cues post-release. The data could influence commodity export outlooks, especially for iron ore and oil sectors.
Other Economic Notes
Investments in technology are poised to boost Brazil's productivity and industrial gains, as highlighted in recent studies emphasizing innovation and wealth retention. Fiscal sustainability remains a concern amid debates over spending caps, with potential budget loosening for 2026 risking deficit expansion. Commodity exports, including soybeans and iron ore, continue to support the trade balance despite high interest rates curbing domestic demand.
Global Macro News
Rising WTI crude prices to 107.14 bolster Brazil's oil sector, with Petrobras positioned to benefit from export revenues amid Middle East tensions. China's state insurer is leveraging Brazil's high benchmark rates for export financing, enhancing bilateral trade flows and supporting BRL stability. (cont...)
