Brazil Stock Market Rebounds 1.8% Off the Year’s Deepest Oversold as the Real Reclaims Sub-R$5
Ibovespa today reflects Wednesday’s 1.77% rebound to 177,355.73, a sharp bounce off Tuesday’s year-low oversold. The Senate move to curb Trump’s Iran war powers pulled global yields and oil lower, easing the pressure on the election selloff. The real reclaimed sub-R$5 at R$4.9951.
The Big Three
Ibovespa closed Wednesday at 177,355.73 (+1.77%, +3,076.87 pts), a reversal candle that opened at Tuesday’s low (174,279) and closed near the high (178,199). The bounce came off RSI 28.76, the deepest oversold of 2026, after the Senate advanced a resolution to curb Trump’s Iran war powers, easing the yield-and-oil pressure that compounded Tuesday’s selloff.
The real reclaimed sub-R$5, strengthening to R$4.9951 from Tuesday’s R$5.0475 as the dollar bid eased on the de-escalation. The currency leads: when the war premium comes out of global yields, the carry trade reasserts and the real firms before equities, retracing the entire Tuesday slide — a cleaner signal than the equity bounce.
RSI fast lifted to 37.19 from 28.76, slow 37.61 — off the floor but still soft. MACD histogram improved to −1,071.61 from −1,342.79. The election file is unresolved: Flávio Bolsonaro’s Polymarket odds collapsed from 45% to 33% on an inflammatory interview, keeping the overhang live even as relief lifted the tape.

03 Why It Rebounded
External Trigger: Iran de-escalation pulls yields lower
The catalyst was external. The US Senate advanced a resolution to curb Trump’s Iran war powers, reducing the strike risk that had spiked Treasury yields to a 16-month high and lifted oil. As global yields retreated, the war premium came out of risk assets and the pressure on Tuesday’s selloff lifted. Brazil, a net oil exporter with a 14.50% Selic carry, captured the relief through index and currency.
Local Overhang: The election file stays live
The rebound was a relief bounce, not a resolution. The Bolsonaro-Vorcaro file remains unresolved, and Flávio’s Polymarket odds collapsed from 45% to 33% on an inflammatory interview. With the market-preferred candidate weakened, the October overhang persists — the bounce is external relief, not a change in the political risk.
§04 · Market Commentary
The bounce was textbook mean reversion off an extreme. RSI 28.76 was the deepest oversold of 2026, and the Iran de-escalation gave the tape a reason to snap back. The reversal candle and the real’s clean retracement below R$5 are constructive near-term. The currency leads: when the war premium leaves global yields, the real firms first.
But the election overhang caps the upside. Flávio’s collapse to 33% on Polymarket keeps the market-preferred-candidate risk live into October, and strategists warn election volatility can pin RSI through the campaign. The Kijun at 178,635 is the immediate resistance; reclaiming it confirms the bounce. The Selic at 14.50% anchors the carry case, with Copom June 17-18.
05 Technical Snapshot
Ibovespa rebounded to 177,355.73 after opening at Tuesday’s low and closing near the high — a bullish reversal candle off RSI 28.76. The Kijun at 178,635 is the immediate resistance, then 179,564 and the 183,007 cloud; the 200-DMA at 163,821 is the 7.6% floor. On USD/BRL, the real reclaimed R$4.9951 with the 50-DMA at 5.0647 the dollar resistance; RSI 49.73 neutral, MACD histogram positive.

The reversal candle and the real’s retracement to sub-R$5 are constructive near-term. But the election overhang caps it: Flávio’s collapse to 33% on Polymarket keeps the October risk live.
