Ibovespa Rises as Inflation Eases

2026-06-25 13:40 By Isabela Couto 1 min. read

The Ibovespa gained near 0.5% to trade above the 171,000 mark on Thursday as investors digested inflation data.

Bond yields moved lower after June's mid-month inflation reading came in below market expectations, reinforcing bets that price pressures may be easing.

Adding to the decline in yields, oil prices erased all gains accumulated during the Iran conflict as shipping flows through the Strait of Hormuz increased.

Major banks traded higher, with Itaú, Bradesco, and Banco do Brasil up around 2%.

Utilities also advanced, with Axia and Sabesp gaining nearly 2%.

Other notable performers included WEG (+1%), Rede D'Or (+1%), and Embraer (+2%).

Markets also assessed the BCB’s monetary policy report, which revised GDP growth forecasts higher and more directly flagged concerns over government stimulus measures.

On the downside, Braskem gained 0.6% despite filling for emergency protection against creditors as talks for an out-of-court solution to its mounting debt woes hit snags.

Ibovespa Falls on Commodity and Bank Losses
The Ibovespa fell 0.4% to close at 170,507 on Wednesday, pressured by losses in commodity and banking stocks. Petrobras was among the main drags, down 2.6% as oil prices declined on signs that more tankers were moving through the Strait of Hormuz amid progress in US-Iran talks. Vale lost 2.1% amid an internal dispute over its chairman position. Major banks also traded lower after Citigroup cut target prices for several Brazilian lenders, citing a more cautious stance on the sector due to a deteriorating macroeconomic backdrop and rising pressure on asset quality, particularly in consumer lending and agribusiness. Bradesco fell 1.1%, while Banco do Brasil dropped 0.6%. On the upside, WEG gained 2% as it accelerates the expansion of its Rugao unit in China. Embraer rose 1.5% amid renewed speculation over a sale of the C-390 Millennium to Morocco.
