Investors monitor the repercussions of the tariff proposal and await further developments in trade negotiations between the 2 countries. Large Brazilian companies listed on the stock exchange, such as exporters of commodities, steel and meat, are at risk of losing profits due to tariffs.
The proposal, however, has not yet come into force. The USTR has scheduled a public hearing for July 6, while the Brazilian government will be able to present responses to the North American complaints by July 15.
