Ibovespa Sees Strong Gains

2026-03-25 20:35 By Felipe Alarcon 1 min. read

The Ibovespa surged 1.60% to close at 185,424 on Wednesday as optimism for a diplomatic resolution in the Middle East drove a broad rally and a decline in future interest rates.

Sentiment was bolstered by reports of a 15-point US peace proposal delivered to Tehran which pressured global oil prices and eased inflation concerns domestically.

Utilities and financials led the gains with Sabesp advancing 2.4% and Banco Bradesco climbing 2.2%.

Industrial and consumer leaders also showed strength as WEG rose 2% and B3 jumped 3.7% amid the improved risk environment.

Despite the slump in Brent crude Petrobras remained resilient in positive territory gaining 0.2% while Vale added 1.5%.

In contrast the retail sector saw mixed results with Lojas Renner falling 1.3%.

Most assets ended the day higher as traders weighed the prospect of de-escalation against continued regional hostilities.

Ibovespa Rebounds on Tuesday
The Ibovespa closed 0.3% higher at 182,509 on Tuesday as a late recovery in Petrobras and Vale offset pressure from rising interest rates. Petrobras jumped 3.7% as Brent crude surged past $102 per barrel and Vale added 0.8% to provide a vital cushion. These gains countered a selloff in the banking sector where Itaú fell 0.4% and Bradesco dropped 1.1% as future interest rates advanced. Minutes from the Central Bank confirmed that oil price volatility remains decisive for the Selic rate calibration cycle which limited appetite for credit-sensitive utilities. Despite the volatile external environment foreign investors have maintained a strong push into Brazil with net inflows reaching R$ 48.6 billion for the year.
