Friday, April 27, 2012, 3:24 PM Brazil's Bovespa continues to drop, -0.8% today as VALE, already stung by diving earnings, has its $5.9B potash project in Argentina threatened by Kirchner's shenanigans. Brazil's banks are also booking losses as the country enters the "not fun" part of a consumer credit boom. On the plus side, the central bank is aggressively cutting rates. The divergence between Brazil and the S&P. 2 Comments [Global & FX, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, January 17, 2012, 9:25 AM Premarket gainers: VQ +50%. CNVO +48%. DNN +17%. PVX +15%. TSLA +15%. ISTA +11%. EK +10%. ING +8%. AEG +8%. FRO +8%. AVL +7%. QCOR +7%. BRD +6%. NBG +6%. RBS +6%. NOK +6%. TTM +5%. JASO +5%. MTL +4%. BHP +4%. SINA +4%. RIO +4%. ASML +4%. HMA +4%. WFR +4%. GMCR +3%. TSL +3%. HL +3%. AVNR +3%. HMY +3%. NDCO +3%. CLWR +3%. BIDU +3%. TOT +3%. BSBR +3%. BUD +3%. FCX +3%. CS +3%.
Losers: CUK -16%. CCL -15%. KGC -8%. RCL -7%. C -5%. MTG -5%. Comment! [On the Move]
Friday, December 30, 2011, 7:42 AM Brazil's surging economy of the past few years owes a least a bit to its citizen's appetite for debt (and bank willingness to issue it), making bill collecting the latest boom industry there. The volume of credit has doubled to 50% of GDP in less than a decade, with 5.6% of the $1.1T total more than 90 days past due. Some Brazilian banks YTD: BBD -19%, BSBR -41%, ITUB -24%. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Friday, December 23, 2011, 8:31 AM Brazil dips its toe into the QE business, de facto requiring large lenders use part of their reserves deposited with the central bank to purchase loan portfolios from smaller institutions. If the big banks don't participate, they won't receive interest on a portion of their deposits with the central bank, no small inducement when the rate is 11%. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials]
Wednesday, November 30, 2011, 9:05 AM Premarket gainers: AMR +46%. MT +11%. FRO +10%. BCS +10%. IRE +9%. DB +9%. GBG +9%. CX +9%. STP +9%. RBS +8%. ING +8%. PCX +8%. BSBR +8%. LYG +8%. RCL +8%. RIO +8%. CS +8%. RDN +8%. MS +8%. X +7%. BHP +7%. FCX +7%. BBD +7%. BBVA +7%. MTL +7%. BP +7%. PHM +7%. GGB +7%. JPM +7%. AEG +7%. C +7%. TS +7%. UBS +7%. AKS +7%. ANR +6%. DANG +6%.
Losers are mainly just leveraged short ETFs: EDZ -15%. TCIX -14%. SRTY -13%. TZA -13%. FAZ -11%. OVTI -11%. ERY -10%. BGZ -10%. EEV -10%. SPXU -9%. SQQQ -9%. TWM -8%. SKF -7%. VXX -7%. SDS -6%. QID -6%. DXD -5%. DTO -5%. RWM -4%. ZSL -4%. SCO -4%. DZZ -4%. BBEP -3%. SH -3%. PSQ -3%. EUO -3%. Comment! [On the Move]
Wednesday, November 9, 2011, 4:34 PM S&P weighs in on the Brazilian banking sector, saying on "industry risk" alone, the banks are no riskier than German or U.K. lenders and perhaps safer than those in the U.S. Bank safety, however, is brought down when country-related factors are thrown in. Financial ETF: BRAF -21% YTD. Largest bank: ITUB -26% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials]
Monday, November 7, 2011, 10:37 AM Among the winners thus far today are Brazilian shares (EWZ +1%). Taking note of the woes of Brazil's stocks this year (Bovespa -20%), Barron's points out the still-solid growth of the economy as well as a central bank firmly in easing mode with a lot of room between policy rates (11.5%) and zero. Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, July 27, 2011, 8:50 AM Despite a powering economy, Brazil is one of the worst-performing equity markets in 2011, -13.5%. Higher interest rates, a strong real, government interference in leaders VALE and PBR, and the emergence of the ugly part of a credit boom are to blame. However, once the rate cycle turns, the country's shares may look very attractive. Comment! [Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
Thursday, April 21, 2011, 7:15 AM Brazil's central bank hikes its benchmark interest rate 25 basis points to 12%. It's the 3rd increase this year, though the other bumps were 50 basis points. The real ETF BZF has moved sharply higher recently as the government keenly focuses on curbing inflation. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, April 4, 2011, 11:53 AM Saying strong economic growth prospects combined with a government committed to fiscal restraint should ease the sovereign debt burden, Fitch upgrades Brazil's credit rating from BBB- to BBB. EWZ +0.5%, BZF +0.4%, BRAF +0.2%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, March 30, 2011, 5:45 PM Brazil's central bank signals it's nearing an end to interest rate hikes, cutting its growth forecast and saying higher inflation "due to supply shocks is acceptable." "The central bank prefers to do less rather than more in terms of raising interest rates," says Goldman Sachs. EWZ +2.0%. BZF +1.7%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, March 29, 2011, 1:19 PM Attempting to put a lid on capital inflows and the real's rise, Brazil raises taxes on overseas loans and bond sales. The real ignores the news, hitting a new high for the year. Higher taxes “won’t work” either to control inflation or weaken the currency, says former central bank chief Carlos Langoni. BZF +0.5%. BRAF +0.7%. EWZ +1.5%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, March 10, 2011, 11:22 AM Brazilian STIR futures rise sharply and the real drops after the central bank appears to turn dovish, admitting that inflation doesn't look good now, but seeing the possibility of a sharp drop into 2012. BZF -0.6%, EWZ -1.5%, BBD -2.3%, ITUB -2.5%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, March 3, 2011, 7:41 AM Brazil hikes its benchmark rate 50 basis points to 11.75%. The real weakens slightly as the bump was not unexpected, and whispers had circulated that the bank was considering moving 75 basis points. BZF +0.9% yesterday, ahead of the news. Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, March 2, 2011, 11:26 AM With inflation running at 6%, the only question about Brazil's rate action after today's close is whether the central banks goes 50 or 75 basis points. Barclays says not to expect too much inflation fighting from the fiscal side, thus leaving the job to monetary policy. EWZ +2.0%. BRAF +1.2%. BZF +0.5%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, February 24, 2011, 11:46 AM The Paul Volcker of Brazil, if you will, Arminio Fraga sounds a warning about rapid credit expansion in his country, the major banks having reported 20% growth last year. "If I had my old job, I would send my troops all over the place to check it out." Financials ETF: BRAF. Banks: ITUB, BBD, BSBR. Comment! [Global & FX]
