THE MACRO GHOSTS HAUNTING BRAZILIAN EQUITIES
Brazilian stocks recently touched record highs, but some analysts point to potential headwinds on the macroeconomic front that could limit gains for equities in Latin America's largest economy.
In a recent note, BCA Research strategists say rising inflation, an increasingly worse debt-to-GDP ratio, and depreciation in the real BRL= are likely to weigh on returns from Brazilian stocks.
"A positive output gap, a tight labor market, loose fiscal policy and the lagged effects from previous rate cuts are likely to lead to inflation overshooting the central bank’s target," the strategists say.
"A depreciating real will further exacerbate price pressures via higher import prices."
The latest consumer inflation print from Brazil showed inflation slowed to 4.35% in August, but that is still well above the central bank's 3% target.
Despite being among the earliest central banks to start easing policy, Brazil's central bank has kept rates on hold in its past two meetings and said it will raise rates again if needed to bring inflation to its target.
Increasing government spending is also a source of caution, BCA Research says.
Similarly, analysts at Tellimer Research also worry about debt dynamics in the country, noting that Brazil has the widest overall fiscal deficit in the region, reaching 7.7% of GDP in 2023.
The Bovespa index .BVSP has gained just 1.3% this year, versus an over 7% rise in MSCI's index of global emerging market stocks .MSCIEF.
Still, it has fared better than a gauge of Latin Amercia's biggest stocks .MILA00000PUS, which is down over 16% year-to-date.
On the other hand, BCA strategists recommend emerging market investors maintain a neutral allocation to Brazilian stocks.
"Brazilian stocks are oversold relative to EM equities and Middle East instability is supportive of oil prices."
