(MENAFN- The Rio Times) The Brazilian stock market, represented by the Ibovespa index, has shown resilience, closing at 121,187.91 points after a challenging period.



This rebound signals a shift in sentiment driven by the approval of a fiscal package in Congress, which has eased investor concerns regarding the country's stability.



On December 19, the Ibovespa rose by 0.34%, reflecting renewed confidence among investors. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar fell to R$ 6.1237, down 2.27%.



Earlier in the day, it peaked at R$ 6.30 but lost momentum after the Central Bank intervened with significant dollar sales, injecting around $8 billion into the market.



Gabriel Galípolo, the incoming president of Brazil's Central Bank , addressed speculation about the recent dollar fluctuations. He emphasized that these movements should not be attributed to market manipulation but rather to systemic issues affecting currency flow.







His predecessor, Roberto Campos Neto, echoed this sentiment, highlighting unusual dollar outflows tied to dividend payments and personal remittances.

Key Market Developments and Investor Sentiment

Investors are closely watching fiscal developments as the Chamber of Deputies recently passed a Constitutional Amendment Proposal (PEC) aimed at reducing mandatory government spending.



This proposal is now headed to the Senate for further consideration and could lead to significant budgetary reforms if approved. The easing of interest rates has allowed cyclical stocks to recover from earlier losses.



Notably, Automob (AMOB3) surged by 40% during trading, showcasing strong performance in the automotive sector. However, commodity-linked stocks faced challenges.



CSN (CSNA3) and Vale (VALE3) saw declines due to falling iron ore prices amid concerns about demand from China. On a broader scale, U.S. economic data also influenced market dynamics.



The GDP grew by 3.1% in the third quarter, driven by increased consumer spending and export growth. Additionally, initial jobless claims in the U.S. dropped more than anticipated, indicating a steady labor market.
