Renewed Confidence in Brazil 🇧🇷 The Central Bank of Brazil raised its interest rate by a full percentage point today. In the chart, this is represented by the white line. This decision comes as inflation (blue line) is climbing again. Notice the significant gap between the central bank’s interest rate and inflation, this showcases how mature Brazil’s central bank has become. In the past, the Federal Reserve led the way, but now Brazil’s central bank is ahead of the curve. The first rate hike came in 2021, a year before the Fed. The first rate cut happened in 2023, also a year before the Fed, and now, with the first signs of inflation re-emerging, we’re seeing multiple rate hikes already. I get it, most eyes are on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq racing to new highs. But amidst the current negativity, I’m adding more Brazilian stocks to my portfolio. Changes in price levels are a major driver of shifts in price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios. If inflation in Brazil is decisively controlled, P/E ratios could double. Alternatively, even if inflation persists, a bull market in commodities could also lead to a doubling of P/E ratios.
