Brazil Rate Cut Looms: Selic Forecast Lowered

Analysts in Brazil have revised downward their year-end forecast for the nation's benchmark interest rate, the Selic. The updated projection now anticipates the Selic rate to reach 13.5% by the end of 2026, a decrease from the previously held 13.75% expectation.

This recalibration comes as Brazil's economy shows signs of gradual cooling. The economic slowdown is occurring in the lead-up to the country's presidential election, scheduled for next month. The weekly survey of analysts highlights this evolving economic landscape.
