Midterms in the US bring fiscal relief and affect interest rates, the dollar and stock markets

The midterm elections in the United States provoke important movements in global markets, as highlighted by Estadão coverage. Among the main consequences observed after the election, the drop in the profitability of North American Treasury bonds and the international retreat of the dollar stand out.

At the same time, the Nasdaq registered an increase. The positive movement occurred on the American stock exchange despite market fears persisting about a possible Democratic intervention in the artificial intelligence sector, according to Estadão.

Another central point evaluated by analysts concerns the balance of political forces in Washington. According to Estadão, the Democratic victory could halt tax cuts and also contain new increases in spending that were previously associated with Donald Trump's agenda.

Therefore, the fiscal scenario in the United States may present significant improvements with this spending and tax halt. The vehicle also points out that this trajectory opens up the possibility of lower interest rates in the country due precisely to this fiscal improvement.

What changes for the investor

According to Estadão, the combined effects of interest and the dollar end up proving beneficial for Brazil in the very short term. For those who operate and invest, the international scenario will be closely monitored given the prospect of a cooling in the American interest rate curve and the behavior of global currencies.
