Key Quotes
“With inflation contained at or below target for projections through 2020, and with the Brazilian economy still operating with a great degree of slack, we see little constraint to not only a 50bp cut by the BCB at the October meeting, but also the risk that our forecast for a further 25bps in easing past October will be found to be ex-post too hawkish.”
“BRL will remain beholden to broad USD movements, and the prospects of further fiscal (tax) reform. Greater easing will emphasize this dynamic, though this remains a longer term factor rather than having an impact at the October meeting should the BCB sound increasingly dovish.”
