The Ibovespa fell 0.8% to close at 169,019 on Friday as higher bond yields, fading expectations of monetary easing, and escalating hostilities in the Middle East weighed on sentiment. Iran-backed Hezbollah rejected a new Lebanon ceasefire proposal, while Israel said it would not withdraw its troops, undermining US diplomatic efforts with Iran. Meanwhile, stronger-than-expected US payrolls data pushed Treasury yields higher and reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates elevated for longer, magnifying gains in Brazilian rate futures. UBS also turned less constructive on Brazilian assets as prospects for aggressive Selic cuts faded, citing stronger domestic activity, higher oil prices linked to the Iran conflict, and persistent inflation pressures. Banco do Brasil fell 1.8%, while B3 lost 0.7%. Vale dropped 3.8% amid lower iron ore prices, and Petrobras declined 0.9%, tracking a pullback in international oil prices.
