\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe Ibovespa ended Friday at 178,858.54, up 1.86%, after printing a new intraday record at 180,532.28.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe day’s range was wide, with a low at 175,589.66 and a strong late-session push. Turnover was heavy at roughly R$35.9 billion ($6.79 billion). (\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe immediate driver was commodities. WTI rose about 2.88% and Brent gained about 2.84% as Washington escalated pressure on Iran.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nInvestors also tracked talk of secondary tariffs on countries doing business with Tehran. “The rise in oil favored energy stocks,” said Christian Iarussi of The Hill Capital.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThat oil bid hit Petrobras directly. PETR4 rose 4.35% and helped pull the index higher. Metals also supported risk appetite, with Vale up 2.46% as iron ore improved in Asian trading.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n
Ibovespa Tests 180,000 As Commodity Surge And Foreign Flows Power A Fourth Record Day
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe five biggest winners inside the index were Braskem (BRKM5) up 10.66%, CSN (CSNA3) up 6.29%, Prio (PRIO3) up 4.91%, Magazine Luiza (MGLU3) up 4.58%, and Petrobras preferred (PETR4) up 4.35%.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nBraskem reached its highest close since September, while CSN tracked firmer ore and Prio tracked oil.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe five biggest losers were Vivara (VIVA3) down 5.06%, GPA (PCAR3) down 2.31%, Caixa Seguridade (CXSE3) down 1.90%, Axia (AXIA6) down 1.12%, and IRB (IRBR3) down 0.90%.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nVivara was described as a correction after prior gains. IRB fell after a weaker monthly profit comparison.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe charts underline the speed. Daily RSI is 82.27 and weekly RSI is 81.38. 4-hour RSI is 84.98. MACD is strongly positive across all timeframes.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThis is an uptrend, but it is also an overbought market. First support clusters near 175,239, then 173,405 and 172,301.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nWhy the foreign money keeps coming is mostly a global story. Fund-flow data showed sizable withdrawals from U.S. equity funds during the week, while emerging markets attracted new allocations.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThat rotation is consistent with what local desks called “diversification” away from concentrated U.S. risk.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nOn origin and institutions, public B3 flow data is usually reported as “non-residents,” not by country. Still, the pattern points to large global asset managers and ETFs reallocating from U.S. and China risk.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nBloomberg reported foreigners added over R$12 billion ($2.33 billion) to Brazilian stocks in January. B3-linked data also showed foreigners dominated cash-equity trading in 2025.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n
