Brazil’s IOF Fiscal Measures Weigh on Ibovespa; Dollar Hits Year Low at R$5.56 Amid China Slowdown and US-China Talks
In Brazil, the government announced a provisional measure to increase tax revenue and adjust the IOF decree, as stated by Finance Minister Haddad. This fiscal package aimed to recalibrate tax rates following setbacks related to the IOF. The Brazilian real strengthened against the US dollar, with the currency closing at R$5.56 on June 9, marking its lowest value of the year and an eight-month low. The Ibovespa index closed at 135,699 points on the same day, down 0.30%, influenced by both domestic fiscal news and external factors such as China's economic slowdown and deflationary pressures due to increased tariffs. On June 10, the dollar saw a slight rebound to R$5.57 amid investor caution regarding the fiscal package, while the Ibovespa rose by 0.54% to 136,436 points, supported by positive inflation data (IPCA) and ongoing US-China trade discussions. Additionally, a new US Treasury ETF was announced to be accessible on the Brazilian stock exchange starting June 10. China's economic data showed a decline in exports and a four-month low in oil imports for May, deepening concerns about weak demand and deflationary trends globally. Key stock movements included gains in Brazilian companies such as GGBR4, GOAU4, EMBR3, VAMO3, BRKM5, and CSNA3, while B3SA3, RADL3, SLCE3, EMBR3, BBSE3, and CXSE3 saw declines.
