Fixed income surged in mark-to-market valuations after the election, rewarding investors positioned in longer-term government bonds. Finance professor Alexandre Cabral calculates the size of the movement, shows how foreign investors took advantage of the interest rate drop, and warns of the risk that euphoria may have pushed the yield curve too far.

In an appearance on Revista do Mercado, Cabral calculates a government bond traded between Friday and Monday and points to a gain of approximately 9% in dollars in a single trading session in the example analyzed. He also highlights that foreign investors had already built significant positions in Brazilian bonds during September.
The sharp drop in rates also caused a significant appreciation due to the mark-to-market valuation of longer-term bonds. But, after the initial reaction, Cabral considers that part of the pricing may be emotionally charged.
The professor mainly questions the bets on an acceleration of Selic rate cuts, observes the worsening inflation expectations mentioned during the interview, and recommends caution for those thinking of entering fixed-rate bonds now.
