## Prediction

Over the next seven days, Brazilian assets are likely to underperform broader emerging markets, with BRL weakening and local equities, particularly exporters and industrials, trading at a discount as markets reprice trade and policy risk. The broad 25% U.S. tariff proposal will compound existing concerns about Brazil’s fiscal stance and global demand, motivating local capital flight and higher risk premia. Some of this will be cushioned by exemptions on key commodities, but uncertainty over the final tariff structure will keep volatility high. Confirmation would be BRL underperformance versus EM FX baskets and widening CDS spreads; denial would be a swift U.S.–Brazil de-escalation or clear carve-outs that reassure investors.

## Drivers

- USTR float of broad 25% tariffs on Brazilian goods with complex exemptions
- Warnings about elevated policy and FX risk around Brazil
- Historic sensitivity of BRL assets to external trade and commodity shocks
