- The Ibovespa rose 0.42% to 172,060.43 points on November 11, recovering from the previous session's decline.

Brazil's Ibovespa recovered above 172,000 points on Wednesday, November 11, as investors responded positively to proposed fiscal measures and a stronger session on Wall Street. The benchmark closed at 172,060.43 points, up 0.42% from Tuesday's close of 171,336.99 points.
According to Exame, the index traded between 171,335.20 and 172,986.66 points during the session. The close represented a gain of 723.44 points from the opening level.
Fiscal package supports risk appetite
Market sentiment improved after reports that Brazil's government intends to pursue a fiscal adjustment package for 2027. Exame reported that the measures under discussion could amount to 70 billion to 80 billion Brazilian reais. The proposal was viewed as a signal of greater commitment to fiscal stability, although the final design and its approval remain relevant uncertainties for investors.
The move also followed a positive session in US equities. Technology stocks in New York strengthened after results from artificial-intelligence infrastructure company CoreWeave supported expectations for continued demand in the sector. The Nasdaq rose 1.60%, while the S&P 500 gained 1.31%, according to the Exame market report.
Petrobras limits the advance
Losses in Petrobras shares restrained the Ibovespa's rise. The preferred shares fell 3.11% and the common shares declined 2.08% after the state-controlled oil producer's third-quarter results raised concerns about investment and dividend prospects. Vale also lost 0.57% as iron-ore prices declined.
Some financial stocks moved higher: Itaú Unibanco rose 1.26% and BTG Pactual gained 0.41%. Magazine Luiza was the strongest performer among the cited index constituents, advancing 17.48%, while Cosan rose 13.06% and MRV gained 10.27%.
Recovery remains dependent on follow-through
The close reversed Tuesday's 0.52% decline, which followed stronger-than-expected US inflation data and renewed concern about interest rates. The B3's Bora Investir publication had identified the fiscal agenda and US inflation as key market issues before Wednesday's session. For Brazilian equities, the next direction will depend in part on the details and credibility of the proposed measures, as well as global interest-rate expectations.
