SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Shares of Brazilian companies in metallic commodities and those linked to oil rose sharply this Monday, squeezed between the weekend and the holiday, taking the main Brazilian stock index above 113,000 points.
At 12:24 pm, the Ibovespa showed an increase of 0.7%, to 113,634.02 points. The financial turnover of the session totaled 10.8 billion reais, with the volume also hampered by less movement on Wall Street, due to the bank holiday in the United States (Columbus Day).
For market professionals, while raw material stocks gain, those in consumer-related sectors lose in the face of higher inflation.
Therefore, agents’ attention should focus on inflation and retail sales data for the United States, in the minutes of the last monetary policy meeting of the Federal Reserve.
Another point of attention is the start of the third-quarter swing season on Wall Street, including JPMorgan, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup and Goldman Sachs.
According to the chief economist of modalmais, Alvaro Bandeira, given issues such as the risk of a budget lock in the US and new indicators showing rising global inflation, “investors should continue with a more protective behavior”, also limiting gains on the Brazilian stock exchange .
