Yesterday's Recap
September 6 produced no economic releases, leaving markets to digest the prior day’s trade data. Brazil posted a larger-than-expected August surplus as exports to the United States rose more than 10% even after a full month of 25% tariffs. Bovespa closed at 185,147.00, down just 0.02%, while Vale fell 0.26% to 15.27 and Petrobras dropped 1.90% to 20.12.
USD/BRL climbed 0.45% to 5.12 and EUR/BRL gained 0.42% to 5.95. The short-term rate eased 0.76% to 14.39%. Gold advanced 1.06% to 4,476.60 while Bitcoin declined 1.15%.
Chinese energy firms continued sourcing Brazilian crude and exploring local fields, supporting Latin American price gains. WTI Crude finished unchanged at 91.48.
The Day Ahead
No releases are scheduled for September 8. Attention turns to September 11 when Brazil reports August inflation both month-over-month (prior 0.07%) and year-over-year (prior 4.44%). The year-over-year figure carries medium impact and will receive closest scrutiny from fixed-income and FX desks for signals on the Selic trajectory.
Markets will also monitor any comments from COPOM members ahead of the next policy meeting. Commodity flows and US tariff developments remain live risks for the real and equities.
