Yesterday's Recap
No economic data releases occurred on September 10. Bovespa advanced 1.42% to 188,269 while Petrobras rose 2.15% to 21.38 after Ibama cleared three additional wells at the Morpho discovery. Vale declined 1.04% to 15.28 amid softer iron-ore prices.
USD/BRL eased 0.11% to 5.10 and EUR/BRL fell 0.31% to 5.91. WTI Crude dropped 2.51% to 99.91 yet Brazil announced a R$7bn-per-month fuel subsidy package to offset the surge. Short-term rates declined 0.76% to 14.39%.
The package and regulatory nod supported equities despite global commodity weakness. Iron-ore and oil export revenues remain key buffers for the trade balance and BRL, while regulatory progress at Morpho underscores continued upstream investment in Petrobras despite environmental scrutiny.
The Day Ahead
August inflation MoM (consensus -0.29%, prior +0.07%) and YoY (consensus 4.27%, prior 4.44%) print at 04:00 ET. The MoM figure carries greater weight for near-term Selic expectations and BRL volatility. No COPOM minutes or BCB speeches are scheduled.
Traders will parse the prints for clues on whether the 14.00% Selic rate remains on hold. A downside surprise could reinforce stability bets while an upside surprise may lift short-term yields. These releases will also shape views on imported inflation risks tied to oil prices near $100.
Other Economic Notes
Brazil’s soybean export grip on China continues to deepen even as Beijing’s total imports slip. Fiscal support via the fuel package adds to spending pressures amid elevated oil prices near $100. Iron-ore and oil export revenues remain key buffers for the trade balance and BRL.
Regulatory progress at Morpho underscores continued upstream investment in Petrobras despite environmental scrutiny. These dynamics support the external accounts while testing domestic fiscal sustainability. China’s soybean import slowdown may trim Brazilian export volumes later this year yet current market share gains provide offset.
