Ibovespa Ends Slightly Lower as Financials Weigh
The Ibovespa inched 0.1% lower to close at 173,714 on Friday as losses in the financial sector weighed on the index, while gains in energy stocks partially offset the decline.

Meanwhile, the IBC-Br economic activity index rose 0.1% month-over-month in May 2026, easing from a 0.5% increase in the previous month but slightly exceeding forecasts for a flat reading.
