Brazil Is Good For A 7% Stable Yield And Some Upside As The USD Depreciates
Brazil's private domestic sector is supported by government deficit spending and private credit but faces a drain from the external sector. The stock market has been stagnant since 2009, but ETFs offer yields between 3-7% and potential upside if the USD depreciates. Aggregate demand in Brazil is positive at 4% of GDP, yet lower than countries like Japan and Germany with over 8%.

How Brazilian Equities Are Positioned Amid The U.S. Tariff Shake-Up
Brazil's economy faces challenges with inflation persistently above target and double-digit interest rates, which are impacting the performance of the EWZ amid global trade tensions. The Brazilian economy's reliance on commodities and the financial sector makes it vulnerable to fluctuations in global commodity prices and interest rates. Potential benefits from U.S. tariffs include preferential market access and increased trade with China, but risks like capital flight and higher domestic prices persist.

Brazilian Equities: Is The Perception-Driven Rebound Reliable?
Brazil's economic instability in 2024 was driven by fiscal mismanagement, rising debt, and inflation, leading to a 35% drop in the EWZ ETF. Despite initial bearish projections, EWZ rebounded in early 2025, driven by improved investor sentiment and global market rotations favoring emerging markets. The ETF's performance is influenced by political shifts, with potential government changes in 2026 boosting market confidence despite ongoing economic challenges.
