The Brazilian economy's reliance on commodities and the financial sector makes it vulnerable to fluctuations in global commodity prices and interest rates. Potential benefits from U.S. tariffs include preferential market access and increased trade with China, but risks like capital flight and higher domestic prices persist.

Despite initial bearish projections, EWZ rebounded in early 2025, driven by improved investor sentiment and global market rotations favoring emerging markets.

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.
