BRAZIL
  • In an online event yesterday, BCB Director Paulo Picchetti said that division in the central bank’s latest monetary policy decision had nothing to do with differences on the economic diagnosis. Consistent with comments from other BCB officials in recent days, he also said that the de-anchoring of inflation expectations for 2025 is a challenge for monetary policy. Prices of industrial goods are well behaved, he said, but services prices are far above target.
  • On the data front, May IPCA inflation data are due to be released at 1300BST(0800ET), with consensus for prices to rise by 0.42% m/m (vs. +0.38% prior), lifting the annual rate of inflation to 3.88% y/y, from 3.69%.
