Key Facts

1Standard Chartered reports Brazil is a major beneficiary of the US Supreme Court ruling against Trump’s IEEPA tariffs.

Standard Chartered has identified Brazil as a primary beneficiary of a US Supreme Court ruling that invalidated certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The ruling is expected to lead to a sharp decline in effective tariff rates on Brazilian exports, significantly lowering trade costs and enhancing export competitiveness. This development is viewed as fundamentally positive for the Brazilian Real (BRL) and Brazilian equities, such as the EWZ exchange-traded fund. Despite the favorable legal outcome, Standard Chartered economist Dan Pan cautioned that lingering risks associated with US trade policy remain a concern for investors. The reduction in tariffs is anticipated to improve Brazil’s overall trade balance and support its economic outlook. Market participants are now closely monitoring how these legal shifts will impact long-term trade relations between the two major economies.
