iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF Price & Performance (EWZS)

The iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF (EWZS) edged up 0.09% to $10.78 on April 16, 2025, despite a two-week loss of 1.91%. Trading volume declined to 78,000 shares, raising caution about potential short-term reversals. Analysts forecast a possible 5.36% rise over the next three months, but risks remain elevated.123

Although EWZS closed at $10.78 recently, with a day range between $10.81 and $10.98, experts continue to rate the ETF as a 'Strong Sell' due to persistent high risk and a one-year return of -15.24%. The fund's 4.16% yield and 0.60% expense ratio offer some appeal, but volatility is expected to continue.245

Despite lagging global peers in 2024, the iShares MSCI Brazil Small-Cap ETF is drawing interest for its low valuation and 4.17% yield. Economic headwinds and currency volatility persist, but some experts see potential for a turnaround if Brazil's macroeconomic environment stabilizes, offering diversification for risk-tolerant investors.456
