Brazil’s Ibovespa Climbs Despite Global Markets’ Slide

By RT Staff Reporters · April 2, 2024 · 2 min read

On Tuesday, Brazil’s Ibovespa index defied global market trends by rising 0.4% to 127,548 points, a gain of 558 points, despite a downturn in New York’s market.

The boost in commodity prices, particularly Brent crude oil reaching $88 a barrel amid Middle East tensions, propelled this growth.

Major companies like Petrobras and Vale benefited from the surge, with Petrobras rising 2.6% and Vale increasing by 1.4%.

The Brazilian Real maintained stability, marginally dropping by 0.02% to R$ 5.058 after the Central Bank intervened to address a specific demand issue.

This move was seen as an effort to curb the real’s recent depreciation and stabilize the currency’s value.
