Goldman Sachs Ahead Of Copom Minutes Tomorrow

BRAZIL
  • Given the clarity of the post-meeting statement and guidance for the next meeting we do not expect major innovations in the minutes; i.e., we expect the minutes to reiterate the post meeting policy statement message and policy signals.
  • However, GS will be looking for:
    • Whether the Copom did consider a larger market-surprising rate hike (e.g., 175-200bp), and the pros and cons of such a decision versus the decision to only hike 150bp.
    • Whether directors discussed the potential impact on the neutral interest rate of the economy of the recent fiscal developments.
    • Whether the Copom is still committed to do whatever it takes to drive inflation down to the target in 2022 or whether it would be comfortable with a trade-off involving a slight overshoot of the 2022 target as long as inflation remains on a downward trajectory with a high probability of convergence to the lower target in 2023.
  • For reference, in Goldman's assessment, the Copom could have been more direct and forceful in acknowledging the recent increase in risk-premia due to recent fiscal developments.
