Embraer SA jumped the most in two months as its proposed commercial-jet venture with Boeing Co. cleared a major hurdle.

Brazilian President Michel Temer has endorsed the partnership in principle, said a person familiar with the discussions, a crucial step since the Brazilian government has veto power over any Embraer tie-up. The talks will potentially conclude within weeks, said a second person, who asked not be named because the discussions are private.
