The Ibovespa dropped 0.5% to close at 136,743 on Thursday, as President Trump’s announcement of 50% tariffs on Brazilian exports—tied to legal actions against former President Bolsonaro—reshuffled sectoral leadership and rattled trade-reliant names. Financials bore the brunt with Banco Do Brasil (-0.8%), Banco Santander (-1.7%), Itaúsa (-1.5%),and Bradesco (-1.9%) after analysts pared back ratings amid heightened US trade barriers. Embraer tumbled 3.4% given its 60% US revenue exposure, highlighting acute vulnerability to slapping of levies on aerospace exports. Miners and steelmakers provided some offset, Vale gained 2.3%, CSN surged 5% and Gerdau added 0.5%—reflecting enduring global commodity demand, but energy stocks like Petrobras were held back as crude prices dropped. Meanwhile, June’s IPCA inflation deceleration went largely unnoticed, leaving trade-war fallout as the dominant drag on equities.

The S&P/TSX Composite rose 0.4% to close at a fresh record of 27,082 on Thursday, buoyed by a rotation into consumer-discretionary and industrial names that more than offset weakness in energy and materials. Air Canada added 3.7% on upwardly revised traffic forecasts, and Canada Goose rallied 3.8% amid reports Bain Capital may divest its stake. At the same time, base-metals producers outperformed as copper futures held near recent highs despite looming US tariffs, supporting the materials subgroup and helping to counterbalance a modest pullback in oil, which eased below $67 a barrel on OPEC+ supply-pause speculation. Behind the scenes, Ottawa’s push to seal a free-trade pact with Southeast Asian economies has lent structural support by signaling diversification beyond US markets, while investors await Friday’s Canadian jobs report for clues on domestic growth and potential Bank of Canada policy shifts.
