Brazil’s Ibovespa rose in early trading in line with gains in international equity markets, with CSN shares supported by an agreement to sell its cement unit to China’s Huaxin. The dollar traded nearly flat against the real as investors weighed Lula’s fiscal comments and weakness in the U.S. currency abroad.
The currency and equity moves were limited and point to no clear immediate change in Brazilian feed-import costs. The cement transaction itself does not materially alter feed-commodity supply or demand.
