Ibovespa Sets Another Record as Banks Lead, Dollar Slides, and Global Risk Mood Improves
Key Points
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n
- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\t
- Brazil’s main stock index closed at a fresh record as banks and domestic names outweighed weaker oil and softer China-linked inputs.
- The real strengthened, and offshore interest stayed visible through Brazil ETF inflows, even as politics remained noisy.
- Technically, the trend is still up across timeframes, but weekly momentum looks stretched, raising the odds of pullbacks.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nBrazilian stocks extended their rally into a second straight record close, with the Ibovespa ending Thursday at 165,568.32, up 0.26%, after setting a new intraday peak at 166,069.84.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe session’s tone was firm but selective: leadership came from financials and local-economy plays, while commodity-linked names were mixed.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nTrading volume reached 27.5 billion reais ($5 billion). Dollar/real ended at 5.3681, down 0.61%, reinforcing the risk-friendly feel.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n
Market Dynamics and the “Brazil Domestic” Rotation
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nAt home, retail sales beat expectations, feeding the “Brazil domestic” rotation. Banks advanced as traders treated the Reag/CBSF liquidation tied to the Banco Master investigation as contained rather than systemic.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nPolitics, meanwhile, stayed in the background: opposition-leaning, market-friendly rhetoric around stability and predictability continued to resonate more than interventionist signals.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nTop gainers reflected that rotation: Vamos (VAMO3) +7.61%, Magazine Luiza (MGLU3) +4.05%, Multiplan (MULT3) +2.83%, Embraer (EMBR3) +2.79%, and B3 (B3SA3) +2.65%.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe main laggards were Smart Fit (SMFT3) -8.17% on margin concerns, followed by Vivara (VIVA3) -6.56%, C&A (CEAB3) -5.15%, Hapvida (HAPV3) -4.61%, and Usiminas (USIM5) -3.23%.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nTechnically, the picture remains constructive: daily momentum is positive with RSI in the mid-60s, the 4-hour chart shows a steady grind higher with stronger short-term momentum, and the weekly trend is powerful but overbought, with RSI above 70.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nFutures were modestly higher early Friday, while traders watched IBC-Br activity data and central bank signals for clues on the rate path and the rally’s durability.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n
