Deutsche Bank Says A 25bps Rate Hike at Brazil's Central Bank in Early 2026 Is Possible

12:27 PM EDT, 06/23/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Deutsche Bank said it expects Brazil's central bank (BCB) to pause at least until year-end -- with a possible fine-tuning of 25bps.

The revenue rather than the spending route this government has favored pushed the market closer to pricing a final 25bp hike, but other than rounding the Selic to 15%, Deutsche Bank sees no discernible gain from such a hike.

The main source of uncertainty is for how long rates will be in contractionary territory, wrote the bank in a note. If Deutsche Bank uses BCB's models, the pause could extend for a year, but with so much variability in inputs and uncertainty, it believes COPOM could start at a

cautious 25bps around the turn of the year, with acceleration into the semester to make room for a possible pause in case volatility around elections surges.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
