The Ibovespa rose 0.33% to close at 198,657 on Tuesday, holding near record highs after earlier touching the 199,000 mark and extending its strong upward trend, as optimism over a potential Middle East de-escalation and renewed US-Iran talks continued to support sentiment. Lower oil prices eased inflation and rate concerns, underpinning financial and utility stocks, while pressuring energy shares. Among gainers, Banco do Brasil jumped 2.59%, Eletrobras gained 2.33%, and Rede D'Or advanced 1.49%. Itau and Santander Brasil also posted gains. Vale rose 1.13%. On the downside, Petrobras tumbled 4.28%, leading losses as crude prices declined, while WEG edged lower, extending recent weakness.
