EWZ: Why The 2025 Outlook For Brazil Appears Bearish
The Brazilian economy faces significant challenges in 2024, including high inflation, rising interest rates, and a devalued currency, which has led to a sharp drop in EWZ. Fiscal policies under President Lula's administration have failed to control public spending, resulting in a primary deficit and exacerbating economic instability. Key holdings in EWZ, such as Petrobras and Vale, have significantly underperformed, while Nu Holdings has shown growth despite the adverse macroeconomic environment.

EWZ: 3 Reasons To Take Advantage Of Cheap Brazilian Stocks
Brazilian assets have come under pressure amid growing fiscal concerns and rising US yields, driving the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF further into undervalued territory. The EWZ ETF now yields 8.8%, meaning capital gains are not needed to produce outsized returns. High exposure to undervalued commodity prices, overblown macro concerns, and improved corporate discipline offer reasons to take advantage of the EWZ's weakness.

EWZ: Not Ideal, But Don't Write It Off Either
Brazilian equities have underperformed both global stocks and their EM counterparts quite significantly this year. EWZ is the largest Brazilian-themed ETF around, but the next largest offering - FLBR - is gaining interest and with good reason. Trading volumes in the Brazilian equity markets have come off quite significantly as the Central Bank's ongoing rate stance has made fixed income more attractive.

The SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF (SPYD) offers a 4.07% yield but lacks complexity according to MacroGirl; consider alternatives like PEY.

EWZ: Opportunities Outweigh The Monetary Policy Uncertainty
Brazilian equities have gained 15.16% post-Black Monday, driven by the outperformance of financial stocks, positive external news, and mixed internal news. The largest tracking ETF is at its lowest five-year AUM, and higher risk appetites with a soft landing could attract foreign inflows at a rapid pace due to cheap valuations. Inflation deviating from the target, along with the appointment of a new central bank president, raises uncertainty. Yet, the opportunity outweighs the cons.
