Yesterday, the minutes of Copom were released, with justifications for maintaining the Selic at 13.75% a year. Stephan Kautz, chief economist of EQI Asset classified the minutes as “neutral to hard”, mentioning that the interest rate hike that developed countries are promoting will bring the activity down, which helps inflation.
However, it brings along the risk of global recession, which increases risk aversion, leading to the depreciation of the currency and Brazilian assets, which may cause inflation to rise or become more volatile in the short term.
For Kautz, the Central Bank will also need to understand what the next government will do in terms of fiscal policy, whether Lula or Bolsonaro is elected, which could affect expectations.
The IPCA-15, the inflation forecast, came in better than expected: deflation of 0.37%, when the projection of EQI Assete was a retreat of 0.18%.
