🌍 India / Asia Angle

  • Brazilian consumer retail stocks (e.g., Americanas, Magalu) — potentially bullish as household debt relief boosts disposable income
  • Brazilian banks (Itaú, Bradesco, Santander Brasil) — mixed impact as discounts up to 90% may compress recovery values on non-performing loans
  • BRL (Brazilian Real) — modest positive bias if program reduces systemic household debt stress, though fiscal cost could weigh on sentiment
