Brazil's Bovespa declined amid US inflation data, potential Trump tariffs, and a significant drop in $ANIM3 shares following an acquisition. USD/BRL was stable.

China's Q2 GDP growth of 4.3% YoY fell below the 4.5%-5% official target range, marking the weakest pace in over three years and prompting expectations for further stimulus.

The main drivers are the interest-rate differential between Brazil's Selic and the US Fed Funds rate, commodity prices (Brazil is a major exporter of iron ore, oil, and soybeans), global risk appetite, and Brazilian fiscal policy signals.
