The trading session begins in a divided manner this Friday (06). Nasdaq futures advance 1.34% to 27,110.25 points, while Dow futures fall 1.04% to 51,076 and S&P 500 futures barely move (+0.08% to 7,388.75).

Brazil: stock market falling, small caps under pressure

The Ibovespa operates in the negative amid external pessimism and doubts about internal fiscal directions, which weigh on future contracts. The dollar, slightly lower, stands at R$5.50. On the stock market, oil (WTI at US$90.43, down 0.10%) helps support the index, but small caps suffer in the post-election scenario, pressured by rising future interest rates and fiscal uncertainty.

The financial market demands fiscal rigor from the federal government and monitors the future dispute for the Legislature, while the administration seeks political support amid new commercial prospects with the United States. Among the companies, NTS appealed to the Court against the ANP's decision and froze contributions in the Southeast region, which raises alarms for investors in companies like Itaúsa.

Abroad: hangover in New York and focus on interest rates

The day before was shaken on Wall Street. The Nasdaq Composite fell 5.5%, the biggest daily drop since April 2025, and New York stock exchanges lost around US$2.5 trillion in market value after the Democratic Party's advance in the legislative elections. Fears about artificial intelligence also factored into the account. President Trump pointed the finger at voters. Today, futures show mixed signals, and the VIX drops 2.63%, to 27.44 points.

In the interest rate market, the 10-year Treasury falls 1.16% to 4.84% and the DXY rises 0.49% to 102.04. John Williams, head of the New York Federal Reserve, reinforced his commitment to the inflation target and defended a rigorous fight against rising prices. In Europe, the Stoxx 600 operates lower, driven by the media and health sectors, with global risk aversion. Gold ($4,071, down 1.03%) and bitcoin ($75,758.43, down 0.30%) complete the picture.

What to follow

The main event of the day is the payroll, the United States employment data, awaited by investors on the European stock exchanges and in New York. Also on the radar are Fed directors' talk about inflation, the unfolding of the government's defeat in the American legislative election and doubts about artificial intelligence.

In Brazil, the focus is on the government's fiscal agenda, the dispute over the Legislature, the behavior of future interest rates and the legal dispute between the NTS and the ANP.
