Inflation on Tap, Markets Expecting Further Increase in Price Pressures

BRAZIL
  • September inflation data takes focus Friday, with markets expecting a further uptick in near-term price pressures. The IBGE IPCA-15 is seen rising to 1.04% from 0.89% while the Y/Y release is seen rising to 9.94% - the highest since mid-2016.
  • Elsewhere, the economy ministry filed a request with their counterparts in the Environment Ministry to make rules surrounding the 'Brazil Cost' more flexible to help support local industry. The proposals would see the processing of environmental licensing accelerated and would change the rules surrounding the Mata Atlantica forest. The request follows appeals from private industry, according to Valor Economico.
  • The IBOVESPA finished higher by 1.6% Thursday, while USD/BRL closed in minor positive territory at 5.3038. Markets continue to struggle with prices north of the 200-dma at 5.3140, which remains a focus headed into the weekend.
