Weekly recap covering the Selic cut to 14.25%, the dollar at R$5.17, Ibovespa, Focus, global markets, Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The Ibovespa closed June 26 up 0.76% at 173,295.14 points, accumulating a 2.95% weekly gain amid yield-curve repricing and support from banks.
In the minutes and recent communication, the central bank signaled a mix of pauses and resumed cuts to bring inflation to target after reducing the Selic by 0.25 percentage point.
IPCA-15 rose 0.41% in June and accumulated 4.80% in the 12 months through the second preview, above the central bank target and with food weighing on the result.
The monetary authority said it may alternate pause periods and cuts to bring inflation to the 3% target by the first quarter of 2028, reducing the need for abrupt tightening.
Annual inflation rose to 4.72% in May, above market expectations, reinforcing the view of inflation pressure before the monetary-policy decision.
The more than 14% advance in U.S. markets in the second quarter supported flows into risk assets, with indirect effects on emerging exchanges such as B3.
A weaker-than-expected U.S. jobs report helped reduce pressure on Treasuries and supported equities, with effects on Brazil local yield curve.
During the week, the index was supported by banks, while Braskem again appeared among the negative highlights due to concerns about the company financial situation.
After signs of stronger inflation from supply and demand factors, the market started revising expectations for the path of Selic cuts in 2026.
The Dow advanced more than 1% on July 2 and the S&P 500 was stable as the market reacted to a weaker labor report that reduced rate concerns.
The index gained about 9.5% in the first half of 2026 and more than 14% in the second quarter, supporting global risk sentiment.
On June 26, the S&P 500 closed slightly lower, with sharp declines in chip-linked shares and questions about valuation in the technology sector.
At the June close, the S&P 500 rose 14.9% for the quarter and the Nasdaq gained 21.4%, reflecting confidence in economic growth and corporate results.
On June 22, U.S. indexes closed lower, with technology leading the correction and caution rising toward large growth companies.
The market found support in semiconductor names, showing that technology remains the main short-term driver in New York.
The combination of U.S.-Iran negotiations and a more expensive technology valuation picture reinforced volatility in the heaviest S&P 500 sectors.
The bank reduced its 12-month forecast for Bitcoin to US$82,000 and Ether to US$2,240, citing weaker ETF appetite and lack of regulatory progress.
Despite June weakness, major U.S. indexes ended the half-year positive, preserving a favorable bias for global assets.
Reuters reported Bitcoin near US$58,864 on July 1, while Citi cut its 12-month forecast to US$82,000 amid negative ETF flows.
Ether traded near US$1,585.63 and received a Citi forecast cut, with the bank citing weaker fund flows and lack of regulatory progress.
On July 1, Bitcoin funds posted net outflows of US$294.62 million, while Ether ETFs returned to positive territory with US$14.89 million in inflows.
The latest data indicate net outflows of US$1.48 billion in the June 25 to July 1 window, reinforcing fragile institutional demand for BTC.
Recent reports showed mixed flows across BTC, ETH and Solana products, with institutional appetite rotating quickly among the main digital assets.
Reuters noted in June that Bitcoin had lost about 50% from its October high, increasing attention to key technical levels.
Analysts cited by Reuters treated the US$60,000 level as relevant psychological support for defining new short-term selling pressure.
The combination of fund outflows, price weakness and lack of regulatory catalysts helped explain the crypto correction from late June into July.
The price decline came alongside lower global risk appetite during part of the week, showing crypto sensitivity to international financial conditions.
