Long EWZ: Low Valuation, Resilient Winner

I am bullish on the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ), based on low valuations, and macro tailwinds. EWZ benefits from Brazil's interest rate cutting cycle, commodity super cycle, and recent market-friendly election outcomes. The ETF is concentrated in Brazilian heavyweights like Petrobras, Vale, and major banks, offering a 4% USD dividend yield.

Flávio Bolsonaro and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will face off in a run-off on Oct. 25 for Brazil's presidency, after both received the most but neither a majority of the votes in a first round result on Sunday.

EWZ: The Brazil Trade Everyone Suddenly Wants To Chase

Flávio Bolsonaro's 47.0% 1st-round result caught the markets off guard. EWZ jumped into the low teens % premarket. To understand why, bear in mind that Brazil's gross public debt has climbed to around 83% of GDP from roughly 71% when Lula (the current president) took office. I think the 13.75% Selic rate keeps Brazil's equity risk premium tightly linked to confidence in fiscal policy.
