In the shadow of American military strikes on Iran, global markets held an uneasy stillness on Tuesday — the dollar settling at 5.02 reais against the Brazilian real, neither fleeing nor surging. The restraint spoke not of confidence, but of calculation: investors were not ignoring the conflict so much as watching it, waiting to see whether diplomacy might yet contain what force had set in motion. Emerging markets like Brazil felt the tremor more acutely, their vulnerability a reminder that geopolitical shocks rarely distribute their weight evenly across the world.
