Ibovespa surpasses 142 thousand points, eases, but still rises 1.3%: what cheered?

Stock market professionals say that the appetite for risk is the result of a combination of factors. The Ibovespa closed higher on Thursday, surpassing 142 thousand points for the first time at its peak, supported by the strong performance of financial sector stocks, while a mega-operation against organized crime in the fuel sector supported the advance of Ultrapar (UGPA3), Vibra (VBBR3), and Raízen (RAIZ4). The benchmark index of the Brazilian stock market, the Ibovespa, rose 1.32%, to 141,041 points, reaching 142,138.27 points at the peak of the day, renewing its intraday historical high, with the 2026 election already in focus. At its lowest, it marked 139,205.81 points. Therefore, the index exceeded 142 thousand points for the first time, but failed to surpass the closing high, which was 141,264 points on July 4th.
