Ibovespa exceeds 168 thousand points, encouraged by Wall Street and with an eye on the fiscal

The Ibovespa once again surpassed the 168,000-point mark this Friday (6), with an increase of 1.39%, at 168,498.45 points, according to Money Times. In the accumulated result for the week, the main B3 index had a slight gain of 0.30%, supported by the positive performance from abroad.

The main support for the Brazilian stock market came from Wall Street, where the Nasdaq rose 1.09%, to 24,579.42 points, recovering part of the previous day's fall. The S&P 500 advanced 0.31%, while the Dow Jones fell 0.46%, to 51,285.73 points. According to Money Times, the rise in Treasury yields after the payroll prevented broader relief.

In exchange, the dollar in cash ended the day at R$ 5.5087, an increase of 0.37%.

Among the shares, Vale rose 2.19%, while Petrobras retreated once again (PETR3 -1.10% and PETR4 -1.28%) and headed for the worst week since February 2021. Cosan led the rises, with 10.80%, and Natura had the biggest drop, of 3.36%.

During the week, President Lula defended what he called "fiscal responsibility with a social focus". The news of a presidential statement this Sunday (8), with signs of adjustments in public accounts, also encouraged investors.

What changes for the investor

The stock market's positive reaction shows the influence of the external environment on local asset prices, but caution remains. The focus remains on fiscal discipline and the content of Sunday's statement, essential factors for the formation of interest and exchange rates.

X-Trader Analysis: what changes for those who trade

The rise in the Ibovespa came from abroad: the Nasdaq only needed to recover part of the previous day's fall for the Brazilian stock market to return to 168 thousand points. During the week, however, the index moved almost sideways, with an increase of just 0.30%, which shows a market that is still indecisive. For those who operate a mini-index, the president's statement on Sunday (8) could open Monday with a gap, up or down. Entering with the stop already defined protects against an opening that goes against expectations.
