- 2,000 Brazilian products gain US tariff exemptions, easing trade tensions
- 2025 GDP expands 2.3% to 12.7 trillion reais on services strength
- Bovespa slips 0.46% while USD/BRL rises 0.55% to 5.09
Yesterday's Recap
Markets digested news of broad US tariff exemptions covering roughly 2,000 Brazilian exports, which limited downside pressure on equities and the real. Bovespa closed 0.46% lower at 176,724 while Petrobras rose 0.58% and Vale fell 0.13%. USD/BRL climbed 0.55% to 5.09 amid broader dollar strength, and the short-term rate eased 0.76% to 14.39%.
Brazil’s 2025 GDP print of 2.3% growth, driven by a 2.8% services expansion, confirmed the fifth straight year of expansion supported by household consumption. Iron-ore and oil export data remained supportive for commodity-linked names despite WTI crude dropping 2.82%. China’s pledge to defend Brazilian sovereignty against 25% tariffs added a diplomatic buffer that markets viewed as constructive for near-term sentiment.
The Treasury’s June primary surplus of R$12.4 billion narrowed the 12-month deficit to 0.7% of GDP, while iron-ore shipments to China rose 11% year-on-year, reinforcing external accounts resilience.
The Day Ahead
With no scheduled data releases, attention turns to follow-through on US tariff implementation and any ministerial comments on exempted product lists. Traders will monitor Bovespa flows for signs of rotation into commodity exporters after yesterday’s mixed session. USD/BRL direction will hinge on global risk appetite and any fresh statements from Chinese officials regarding trade support.
Fiscal updates from the Treasury remain on watch after June’s better-than-expected primary surplus narrowed the 12-month deficit. Commodity price moves, especially iron ore and oil, will continue to drive Vale and Petrobras performance. Service-sector momentum at 2.8% for 2025, led by 5.5% growth in information and communication, underscores domestic demand strength that could cushion external shocks.
Other Economic Notes
Brazil’s economy closed 2025 at 12.7 trillion reais with services contributing the largest share and information-communication sectors rising 5.5%. Household consumption sustained the 2.3% annual gain, underscoring resilience even as external tariffs loom. The primary surplus of R$12.4 billion reported for June trimmed the rolling deficit to 0.7% of GDP, reinforcing fiscal credibility.
Export volumes to China rose 11% year-on-year in June, highlighting the importance of commodity demand for the external accounts. <i>↓ p.2</i>
