The Ibovespa today (25) operates in a fall of 0.76%, to 115.131 points. On Monday (24), the stock market plummeted and closed with a fall of 3.27%, at 116.012 points, with favorable foreign, but political scenario impacting the performance of papers.
The 250th Copom meeting starts on Tuesday. And it is taken for granted by the market the maintenance of the Selic, the basic interest rate, at 13.75%.
For Stephan Kautz, chief economist at EQI Asset, the event will have little impact on the market and should not bring any surprises.
“The important thing will be the communication about the term of stability of the rate, i.e., until when it stays at 13.75%. But it is still too early to talk about reducing interest rates”, he evaluates.
For EQI Asset, the Selic rate should remain at 13.75% until at least June next year.
The newspaper Valor surveyed 108 financial institutions and consulting firms, among them EQI Asset.
All of them expect the Selic to remain at 13.75% until December.
As for the beginning of the cycle of flexibilization of basic interest rates, 94 institutions were surveyed, of which 37 expect the Selic to start being reduced in June, while 26 are projecting it for August. The others expect the interest rate cut to start in the first quarter of next year, between February and March.
In the agenda of indicators, the IPCA-15, the inflation forecast, was released this morning by the IBGE, showing an increase of 0.16%, after two months of deflation. The expectation was for a high of 0.09%. The index accumulates a high of 4.80% this year and 6.85% in the last 12 months.
Kautz, from EQI Asset, says that, despite being lower than expected, the qualitative result was good, which reinforces Copom’s thesis of maintaining the Selic at 13.75%.
“Our interpretation is that the number is good, showing less inflationary pressure, with the services sector coming in better. The prospects are good, but the Central Bank cannot yet declare victory. But the inflation trajectory is clearly decreasing”, he affirms.
The FGV’s Consumer Confidence Index (Confiança do Consumidor) dropped 0.4 points in October, to 88.6. And the IPC-Fipe, which measures inflation in the city of São Paulo, accelerated to 0.39% in the third reading of the month, against 0.33% in the previous one.
The day also has Romi’s (ROMI3), Vivo’s (VIVT3) and Neoenergia’s (NEOE3) 3QRI22 results.
On Monday night (24), Petrobras (PETR3, PETR4) released its operational preview, with a 6.6% decrease in the total production of oil/gas/LNG in the third quarter of 2022, compared to the third quarter of 2021, reaching 2.644 million barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed). The result should have repercussions on the shares throughout the day. Yesterday, the shares of the state-owned company closed the trading session with a decline of more than 9%, influenced by the political news.
