FX.co ★ Ibovespa Rises on Itaú Earnings

The Ibovespa index increased by approximately 0.5%, approaching the 182,500 mark, with investors keenly observing corporate earnings reports. Shares of Itaú rose nearly 1%, following the announcement of robust fourth-quarter results for the year 2025. Meanwhile, Bradesco and Multiplan saw gains of 0.7% and 1% respectively, as they prepared to release their earnings after the market closed. Conversely, Petrobras experienced a slight decline of 0.2%, and Vale dropped by 1.7%, influenced by a decrease in iron ore prices and a significant fall in oil prices. This decline in oil was prompted by news that the United States and Iran agreed to engage in discussions in Oman on Friday, alleviating worries about possible disruptions in regional supply.
