IPC increased to an all-time high of 65052.00 Index Points.

Over the past 4 weeks, IPC Mexico gained 2.62%, and in the last 12 months, it increased 25.6%.

The Ibovespa climbed nearly 1% on Monday, trading close to the 162,000 mark, tracking gains in US markets and extending its rally to a fourth consecutive session.

Investors digested fresh domestic data, with the central bank’s Focus Bulletin showing the median CPI forecast easing again to 4.36% from 4.40%, while expectations for the Selic rate in 2026 were also revised lower to 12.13% from 12.25%.

At the same time, the IBC-Br economic activity index signaled a 0.2% month-on-month contraction.

On the corporate front, Rede D’Or São Luiz was among the top performers, surging more than 4% after approving the distribution of Interest on Equity and dividends to shareholders.

Braskem also gained over 4% after announcing that conglomerate Novonor had signed an agreement to sell its controlling stake to private equity firm IG4 Capital.

Major banks advanced as well, led by Itaú, up 0.7%, and Bradesco, which rose more than 1%.

Next year could be a record for shareholder payouts, with dividends of 86 billion pounds paid across the FTSE 100 companies, according to an AJ Bell report. Net forecasts from analysts suggest dividend payments will hit 80.7 billion pounds for 2025, with higher payments next year and the year after. Investors should note that yields from the index are slowly declining, however, while concentration risk could also threaten dividend forecasts being met, AJ Bell investment director Russ Mould writes. HSBC and Shell are forecast to be the biggest dividend payers for 2025, returning 9.2 billion pounds and 6.3 billion pounds to shareholders, respectively. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
