Yesterday's Recap
Brazil’s industrial production rebounded sharply with a 1.8% MoM gain, well above the -0.8% consensus and reversing the prior -0.9% contraction. The services PMI dropped to 49.7 from 51.3, signaling contraction in the dominant services sector. Copom cut the Selic rate by 25bp to 14%, aligning with market pricing and the 14.0% consensus.
The trade surplus printed at US$7.07bn, missing the US$8.4bn expectation. Bovespa fell 1.23% to 175,546 while USD/BRL strengthened to 5.10, reflecting a 0.72% gain for the real. Vale shares dropped 1.47% and Petrobras rose 0.87%.
Short-term rates eased 0.76% to 14.39% as markets digested the policy shift. The June CPI reading of 4.64% YoY remains the key inflation benchmark anchoring the committee’s cautious stance.
The Day Ahead
With no scheduled releases today, markets will focus on follow-through from yesterday’s rate decision and data prints. Analysts will assess whether the 1.8% industrial production surprise alters the expected pace of further easing. Attention turns to external drivers including iron-ore prices and global risk sentiment that influence Bovespa and BRL flows.
Fiscal updates from Brasilia could also affect long-term yields given ongoing primary-balance concerns. Equity and FX desks will monitor any BCB speeches for clues on the inflation-targeting reaction function. Positioning for next week’s data calendar is likely to remain light until fresh prints emerge.
Commodity price moves and US yields will set the tone for local asset performance.
Other Economic Notes
Brazil’s June CPI stood at 4.64% YoY, keeping inflation above the target midpoint and supporting a cautious policy stance. The government’s recent upward revision to the 2026 primary-deficit target highlights spending pressures that could complicate debt dynamics. Commodity export performance remains central, with iron-ore and oil shipments providing key support to the current account.
