Summary

Fernando Ulrich analyzes Brazil's political deterioration with Lula's re-election prospects strengthening and Flávio Bolsonaro's collapse, the US 25% tariff on Brazilian goods, US CPI deflation, Argentina's improving economy under Milei, Big Tech's massive AI-driven debt bubble risks, and China's auto export boom amid slowing GDP. He advises buying dollars ahead of Brazilian elections and hedging US debt risk with gold and Bitcoin.

  • Lula's approval tops disapproval for the first time since July 2025; Flávio Bolsonaro's rejection jumps, weakening the right-wing candidacy.
  • US finalizes 25% tariff on Brazil with exemptions for beef and Embraer parts, potentially benefiting Lula's re-election narrative.
  • US CPI shows monthly deflation in June, curbing near-term rate hike fears; Argentina's monthly inflation falls below 2% amid Milei's reforms.
  • Big Tech companies (Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Google, Oracle) have issued nearly $250 billion in bonds for AI capex, risking a bubble as spreads widen.
  • China's monthly car exports surpass 1 million units led by BYD, while GDP growth drops to 4.3%, the lowest in decades outside COVID.
  • Ulrich recommends allocating to dollars before Brazil's election due to political and IOF risk, and diversifying out of US Treasuries into gold and Bitcoin.
  • Argentina's libertarian reforms are praised; he believes inflation will continue to fall if fiscal discipline holds.
Ideas

Argentina inflation falling, reforms working
Under President Milei's libertarian reforms, fiscal surplus, monetary control, and exchange rate stability are leading to a sustained decline in inflation, which should continue and support Argentina's economic recovery, making Argentine assets attractive.

Big Tech AI debt bubble risk growing
Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, Google, and Oracle are massively increasing debt issuance to fund AI investments, with total debt issuance surging to nearly $250 billion. The market is beginning to punish them, with bond spreads widening. The uncertain return on these investments and rising leverage could lead to a bubble and eventual bust, making these stocks risky.

Chinese auto exports surging, BYD benefits
China's monthly auto exports surpassed 1 million units, growing 71% YoY, driven by electric and hybrid vehicles, and is on track to exceed 10 million in 2026, indicating strong competitive momentum for Chinese automakers like BYD.

Hedge US debt risk with gold, Bitcoin
To protect against a possible US debt crisis and potential devaluation of the dollar, investors should diversify out of US government bonds and into assets without political interference such as gold and Bitcoin, which can serve as hedges.

Buy dollars before Brazil elections
Due to rising re-election probability of Lula, radical discourse, and risk of increased IOF on remittances, Brazilian investors should allocate part of their wealth to dollars before the elections to hedge against potential BRL depreciation and capital controls.
