EWZS: Brazilian Small Caps Safest Emerging Market Play
Brazilian small-cap stocks have suffered recently and face further risks amid new trade war tensions, but they are very undervalued. Brazil's economic growth is expected to fall below 3% due to higher interest rates, trade war risks, and global macro tensions. The Central Bank may cut interest rates later this year to counteract inflation and a weaker currency.

EWZS: Turnaround Is Possible But I'd Prefer To Wait
EWZS's poor performance is attributable to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real. The US-China trade war can boost Brazil's exports to China and help the BRL stabilize. Further interest rate hikes are expected in Brazil due to the rising government debt. Monetary tightening can also support the BRL.

EWZS: Ignore The Noise And Focus On Valuation
The Brazilian stock market and real are the worst performers globally in 2024. Despite poor performance, Brazil has controlled inflation, an independent central bank, and investment opportunities. With an attractive ROE and a very cheap P/E, the ETF looks like a great opportunity.
