Brazil stocks higher at close of trade; Bovespa up 0.65%

Stock markets closed mixed worldwide, with Brazil’s Bovespa gaining 0.65%, Russia’s MOEX rising 0.18%, and Colombia’s COLCAP, Canada’s S&P/TSX, Mexico’s S&P/BMV IPC, and the U.S. Dow Jones showing modest declines or slight gains. Brazil’s rally was driven by strong commodity prices, while Russia benefited from higher energy exports. In contrast, Colombian and Canadian markets faced pressure from local economic data, and Mexico’s IPC slipped amid peso weakness. The U.S. Dow managed a modest gain despite mixed corporate earnings.
