Key Facts
The Ibovespa ended Monday’s session exactly unchanged at 178,000 points, stuck at the line as a sell-off in iron-ore giant Vale cancelled out a sharp rally in planemaker Embraer.
Brazil’s currency, the real, softened 0.25% to 5.0882 per US dollar, but the move was orderly and kept the exchange rate within its familiar mid-2026 channel.
Embraer shares jumped 3.1% on solid turnover, with traders citing continued optimism over the planemaker’s commercial-jet order book and defence pipeline.
Mining titan Vale dropped 1.9%, making it the session’s biggest single drag, as iron-ore futures pulled back and investors locked in profits after a strong run.
