Markets open Thursday's trading session (05/11) on a mixed note. In the United States, the Nasdaq futures fell 0.82%, to 28,332.25 points, while the Dow futures rose 0.73%, to 53,891, and the S&P 500 futures advanced 0.10%, to 7,728. The VIX, a volatility thermometer, marks 16.91 (+1.81%).
Brazil: Ibovespa stable and dollar slightly falling
Ibovespa starts the day practically sideways, at 167,563.47 points (change of 0.00%). The dollar drops 0.11%, quoted at R$5.45. On the domestic radar is the Selic, maintained by Copom at 13.75%. Maintaining the base rate does not alleviate real estate credit, which remains under pressure from future interest rates and fiscal uncertainty.
Abroad: divided technology, falling interest rates and rising commodities
In Asia, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange recorded the biggest daily increase in 21 months: the Hang Seng index jumped 3.67%, with emphasis on the technology sector and giants such as Alibaba and Tencent. In New York, however, Nasdaq futures and Micro Nasdaq futures (28,333.50) both operate down 0.82%.
In the interest rate market, the 10-year Treasury fell 1.17%, to 4.89. The DXY index, which measures the dollar against a basket of currencies, is stable at 101.57 (+0.00%). Among commodities, WTI oil rose 1.31%, to US$ 89.27, and gold rose 1.40%, to US$ 4,130.20. Bitcoin gives up 1.08% to US$79,556.25.
What’s on the radar
In political news, President Donald Trump defended Pete Hegseth's continued position as secretary, amid the Republican defeat in the midterm elections, which changes control of Congress. Experts estimate that political changes in the United States will not bring relief to the cost of loans for financial directors.
An international survey also points to early signs of insolvency in multinational suppliers, pressured by costs and tariffs, which keeps attention on the stress in global chains.
What to follow
Investors should monitor the behavior of future interest rates in Brazil and the evolution of fiscal uncertainty, which weighs on credit. Outside, the focus remains on the political developments in Washington after the midterm elections, on the trajectory of Treasury yields and on warnings of fragility among suppliers of large global chains.
