Brazil sells $2.75 billion in second dollar bond deal of 2025 as CDS hits year low
BRASILIA, June 4 (Reuters) - Brazil sold $2.75 billion in dollar-denominated sovereign bonds on Wednesday, the treasury said, marking its second international issuance this year as the country capitalizes on declining default risk.
The government sold $1.5 billion through a new five-year bond maturing in 2030, with a yield of 5.68%, and an additional $1.25 billion through a reopening of its 10-year benchmark Global 2035 bond, with a 6.73% yield.
The deal comes amid a recent decline in Brazil's five-year credit default swap (CDS) , a key gauge of sovereign risk used by investors to hedge against default.
After rising earlier this year, Brazil's CDS has retreated to its lowest level of 2025, down 27.6% year-to-date as of Tuesday.
Brazil's dollar bond sale follows the $2.5 billion 10-year sovereign bond placed in February, which was the issuance reopened on Wednesday.
The treasury said in a statement that the demand for the new issuance surpassed the issued volume by about four times.
Reuters had reported earlier in the day, citing a source, that Brazil was poised to sell $2.75 billion with the bond sale.
Emerging markets have broadly benefited from a global rotation of capital driven in part by trade policy shifts, including steep tariff hikes introduced by U.S. President Donald Trump - a trend that has contributed to the weakening of the U.S. dollar globally.
On the domestic front, investors are in a wait-and-see mode ahead of structural fiscal measures the government signaled are being negotiated with Congress, after a controversial hike in taxes on some financial transactions aimed at boosting public revenues was poorly received.
The new external issuance aims to boost liquidity in Brazil's sovereign dollar yield curve, provide pricing references for corporate issuers and raise funds to pre-finance upcoming external debt maturities, the treasury said.
BNP Paribas, Citigroup and Santander led the transaction.

News of Trump-Musk ceasefire saves Tesla shares from another nosedive after $99bn loss
Tesla shares are expected to rise by 5.7 per cent following a $99 billion hit due to a feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The electric vehicle manufacturer's share price dropped over 14 per cent after an argument between Musk and Trump, impacting Tesla's market capitalisation. A ceasefire between Musk and Trump is expected, with a meeting planned, leading to renewed investor interest in Tesla stock. The sell-off caused Tesla to lose its status as a $1 trillion company, and Musk′s networth decreased by approximately $34bn. Potential changes to tax incentives for EV purchases and threats to cancel government contracts with SpaceX could further negatively impact Tesla and Musk's other business interests.

Sir Sadiq Khan urged to seek higher taxes and parking fees for SUVs
London Assembly Members agreed a motion calling on the mayor to take action because of fears that the increasing size of cars is damaging road surfaces, causing congestion and putting other road users at greater risk of death and serious injury. The London Assembly called on Sir Sadiq to ask the Treasury to amend vehicle excise duty to include a tax based on vehicle weight. It also wants the mayor to request that councils in the capital consider charging more for parking larger cars, and to call on the Department for Transport to introduce tighter limits on the size and bonnet height of passenger vehicles. The motion was agreed by 14 votes in favour and eight votes against. SUVs have grown in popularity in recent years, with many drivers favouring their higher seating position. They accounted for a third of all new car registrations in the UK last year, compared with just 12% a decade earlier. SUVs are generally taller, wider and heavier than traditional cars, and less fuel-efficient. The increase in the size of cars has been described as carspreading. Labour London Assembly Member Elly Baker, who proposed the motion, said the capital's streets 'weren't designed for larger vehicles like SUVs'. She went on: 'Their greater size, weight, and higher bonnets put vulnerable road users at greater risk, reduce available parking spaces, and cause more wear and tear on our roads. 'It's time we took sensible steps to manage the impact of oversized cars and ensure our streets remain safe and accessible for everyone.' But AA president Edmund King insisted it is 'up to Londoners to choose the type of vehicle that best fulfils their needs'. He added: 'It is not really the role of the London Assembly to dictate what cars individuals should drive. 'Some larger families may well need bigger vehicles with more passenger seats, whereas a driver conducting most trips alone may well choose a city car. 'London's streets were developed around the horse and cart, so of course our infrastructure needs modernising to keep up with change.' A recent study found pedestrians and cyclists are 44% more likely to die if they are hit by an SUV or similar-sized vehicle rather than a traditional car. The analysis produced by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Imperial College London stated that the figure rises to 82% for children.
