50% Tariff On Brazilian Products: This Is What You Should Do With Your Brazilian Assets

I recommend holding assets tracking major Brazilian indices despite new US tariffs, given heightened uncertainty and market volatility. Trump's 50% tariff on all Brazilian products will significantly impact Brazil's export-dependent economy, especially in commodities like oil and iron ore.

EWZS: Brazilian Small Caps Poised For A Breakout

After years of volatility and underperformance, Brazilian small caps (via EWZS) are staging a strong rebound fueled by shifting global capital flows. Unlike commodity-heavy large caps, many small caps focus on Brazil's local economy, making them prime beneficiaries of a domestic recovery. Institutional buying and rising on-balance volume confirm that the current rally is backed by real money, not just hype.

These ETFs Provide Easy Exposure to Growing International Markets

Investors have ample reason to be concerned about the future of U.S. investment vehicles—mid-May's news of Moody's downgrade of the nation's credit rating and the resultant market shake-up and the lingering threat of dramatic tariff increases chief among them. Unsurprisingly, then, many investors may be likely to increase their exposure to international markets to avoid this turbulence.

EWZS: Brazilian Small Caps Safest Emerging Market Play

Brazilian small-cap stocks have suffered recently and face further risks amid new trade war tensions, but they are very undervalued. Brazil's economic growth is expected to fall below 3% due to higher interest rates, trade war risks, and global macro tensions. The Central Bank may cut interest rates later this year to counteract inflation and a weaker currency.

EWZS: Turnaround Is Possible But I'd Prefer To Wait

EWZS's poor performance is attributable to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real. The US-China trade war can boost Brazil's exports to China and help the BRL stabilize. Further interest rate hikes are expected in Brazil due to the rising government debt. Monetary tightening can also support the BRL.

Country Small-Cap ETFs

India small-caps only recently took the lead on the US, with a big jump higher over the last 18 months or so. Small-caps in other countries have been poor options for US investors relative to owning something like the S&P 500 ETF.
