Brazil’s central bank kept the pace of monetary easing and signaled future rate cuts may not be as aggressive amid a fresh political crisis that has rocked the country.
The bank’s board led by President Ilan Goldfajn reduced the benchmark Selic rate by a full percentage point to 10.25 percent on Wednesday, as forecast by 43 of 47 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Three economists estimated a 75 basis-point cut, and one expected a 125 basis-point reduction.
