BRAZIL: July Services Volume Due At 1300BST

BRAZIL
  • BRL underperformed yesterday, amidst broad-based weakness in regional currencies and remarks from Treasury Secretary Rogerio Ceron who said that the government could announce a new budget freeze. Ceron said that that an announcement could be made next week, and that a freeze of BRL5bn should be sufficient to meet the government’s 2024 fiscal target. USDBRL rose by 1.35% to close at 5.6602, narrowing the gap to resistance at 5.7422, the 76.4% retracement of the Aug 5 - 19 downleg. Firm support to watch is 5.5314, the 50-day EMA.
  • Ahead of the key US CPI data at 1330BST today, Brazil services volume data will cross at 1300BST(0800ET), with the market expecting volume to remain unchanged in July, following a 1.7% m/m gain in June. In annual terms, growth is expected to pick up to 2.5% y/y, from 1.3%.
    • July IBGE Services Volume YoY NSA, est. 2.5%, prior 1.3%
    • July IBGE Services Volume MoM SA, est. 0%, prior 1.7%
  • In other news, Canada said that it would resume beef imports from several Brazilian states, after halting them in 2022 due to foot-and-mouth disease concerns.
