Yesterday's Recap
Markets closed lower on June 1 with Bovespa dropping 0.91% to 172,198 amid profit-taking in cyclicals. USD/BRL declined 0.45% to 5.02 while EUR/BRL slipped 0.43% to 5.84, reflecting modest real strength. Vale rose 0.31% to 16.30 and Petrobras gained 0.48% to 18.86 as iron-ore futures steadied.
The Brazil short-term rate remained at 14.75%, down 1.01% on the day, while WTI crude fell 1.35% to 90.92. Gold climbed 1.81% to 4,556, offering a safe-haven bid that supported commodity-linked currencies. No economic releases occurred, leaving the focus on external tariff threats and domestic fiscal signals.
The Day Ahead
Industrial production month-over-month is scheduled for 04:00 ET, following a 0.1% prior print and expected to show modest expansion. S&P Global services PMI at 05:00 ET will follow the 52.3 reading, with any dip below 51 likely to weigh on BRL sentiment. Trade balance data at 10:00 ET will update the USD 10.54 bn surplus recorded last month.
These releases will feed directly into COPOM’s assessment of external demand resilience ahead of the June meeting. Traders will also monitor any comments from Finance Ministry officials on the proposed US tariffs.
Other Economic Notes
Itaú economists warned that fresh fiscal stimulus could postpone the expected growth slowdown into 2027. Brazil is projected to re-enter the world’s top-ten economies in 2026 as GDP outpaces peers, supported by commodity exports. The government’s R$15 bn infrastructure package funded by mining royalties adds to medium-term fiscal pressures.
Inflation expectations stuck above 5% continue to anchor market pricing for a prolonged Selic plateau.
Global Macro News
The Trump administration proposed a 25% tariff on Brazilian goods to address trade imbalances, replacing parts of last year’s 50% levy. The IMF highlighted Brazil’s resilience amid global uncertainty and the Iran conflict, lifting its 2026 GDP forecast to 2.5%. China’s stimulus signals lifted iron-ore prices, supporting Brazilian export revenues.
