Brazil expects to raise 50 billion reais ($9.92 billion) in what will be the most ambitious auction yet under its Eco Invest program, focused on developing advanced sustainable technologies in strategic sectors, Rogerio Ceron, executive secretary of the Finance Ministry, told Reuters.
I reiterate my buy rating on the iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF, citing a compelling cyclical opportunity. EWZS trades at 7.5x earnings, with a historical re-rating to 9x offering a potential 20% upside. Falling Brazilian interest rates provide a significant tailwind for leveraged small caps, improving financial results and economic conditions.
Brazil's benchmark Ibovespa fell about 1% on Friday, slipping below the 179,000 mark as investors recalibrated expectations in response to a more cautious tone from central banks and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The decline reflects a broader reassessment of monetary policy trajectories, particularly as rising energy costs revive concerns about inflation.
