Australia Westpac Consumer Confidence Change

Australia Westpac Consumer Confidence Index

The Ibovespa surged 7.7% to a record 206,912 on Monday, its biggest one-day gain in over six years, after Flávio Bolsonaro finished ahead of President Lula in the first election round, defying most polls. The result triggered a sharp repricing of Brazilian assets. Bolsonaro received 47.03% of valid votes, compared with 45.16% for President Lula. The senator is viewed by markets as more fiscally restrictive, amid elevated domestic yields and weak business activity. Bolsonaro outperformed the average of polls tracked by Goldman Sachs by more than four percentage points. Gains were broad-based, with financials leading the index. Itaú soared 10.4%, Bradesco jumped 13.6%, BB rose 11% and B3 surged 22.6%. Other outperformers included Sabesp (11.6%) and Petrobras (8.2%). JPMorgan upgraded Brazil to Buy. Banks expect the index to extend its record-setting streak in upcoming sessions. The Ibovespa also set a record for trading volume, with more than 5 million trades during the session.

The S&P 500 rose 0.7%, the Nasdaq 100 gained 0.9% to close at a record 31,076 and the Dow added 91 points. Markets have absorbed rising borrowing costs, high energy costs and inflation concerns, with stocks continuing to advance. Strong earnings, consumer spending and sustained artificial intelligence-related investment have supported equities. AI hyperscalers posted solid gains, with Alphabet up 0.9%, Meta adding 1.9%, and Microsoft rising 1.5%. Meanwhile, chipmakers closed mixed, with gains in Nvidia (+2.2%) and Broadcom (+2.1%) mostly offsetting losses from Micron (-1%), AMD (-0.3%) and Intel (-2.6%). Tesla rose 2.2%, while SpaceX jumped 7.6% following reports of potential cooperation between Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing and Elon Musk’s Terafab initiative.
