Brazilian equities rallied sharply after the first round of presidential elections. If credible fiscal reforms are implemented to lower the cost of capital, combined with energy and mineral demand driven by the AI capex cycle and balanced geoeconomic relations, the country could unlock long-term investment potential. Rising U.S. Treasury yields remain a key risk for the region.
