Tax Reform, Vote on the MP for ICMS Subsidy, and Disclosure of October IBC-Br Come into Investors’ Radar.
The Ibovespa continues to rise, renewing its historical closing record in three of the last four trading sessions. Yesterday, an increase of 0.59% brought the main index of the Brazilian stock market to 131,850 points. The end-of-year rally coincides with a series of good news. Brazil climbed two positions in the ranking of the world’s largest economies, according to the International Monetary Fund. The country left behind Canada and Russia and returned to ninth place among the largest GDPs on the planet, already appearing in Italy’s rearview mirror. At the same time, the approval of the first tax reform in decades motivated the credit rating agency S&P to upgrade Brazil’s rating, which is now only two notches below the coveted investment grade. The tax reform was promulgated today in a solemn session of Congress. Still in Brasília, after the approval of the LDO yesterday, today’s economic agenda brings the vote on the MP for ICMS subsidy in the Senate.
Meanwhile, a weaker agenda abroad momentarily interrupts the rally of risk assets also observed in international markets in recent weeks. Back in Brazil, the stock market faces challenges with the vote on the MP for ICMS subsidy and the revenue figures for November being released today. These results have great potential to define the course of business at a time when the tightening of liquidity is already showing up. The October IBC-Br and the revenue figures for November will be released today and have great potential to define the course of business at a time when the tightening of liquidity is already showing up.
Ibovespa Hits Historic Record
The Brazilian financial market had a day of euphoria with the Ibovespa hitting a new historic record. The Brazilian stock market closed up 2.5%, boosted by good news in the domestic economic scenario and by the expectation of progress in the tax reform. The Ibovespa reached 134,000 points, reinforcing Brazil’s position in the ranking of largest economies in the world. The news excited local investors and attracted attention from foreigners, who returned to bet on the Brazilian stock market. Additionally, the IBC-Br, an index that serves as a preview of GDP, also showed positive results, indicating a solid recovery of the economy. However, the fiscal deficit and credit rating still raise concerns, showing that not everything is rosy on the horizon. Even with the challenges, the Ibovespa continues to attract investors, showcasing the strength of the Brazilian stock market amid the turbulence of international markets.
