Ibovespa falls amid political risk and Brazilian deflation
Global financial markets experienced significant volatility on Friday, September 11, driven by inflation data and geopolitical tensions. In Brazil, the Ibovespa fell 0.56% as investors reacted to the lifting of secrecy by the Supreme Court regarding investigations into Banco Master, which has raised political risks. However, the Brazilian IPCA showed a deflation of 0.32% in August, leading analysts to maintain expectations for a Selic interest rate cut in the upcoming Copom meeting.
In the United States, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.4% in August, with a core increase of 0.3% monthly, reinforcing market bets that the Federal Reserve may raise interest rates next week to combat persistent inflation. Despite this, US stock indices like the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq closed higher, buoyed by a retreat in oil prices.
Oil prices saw a correction, with Brent and WTI falling after significant weekly gains. This relief was partially linked to diplomatic hopes regarding the Strait of Hormuz, even as Houthi militia activities near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait continue to pose risks to maritime energy supplies. Meanwhile, European markets closed in the green, benefiting from the drop in energy costs and improved risk appetite.
