10:11 AM EST, 11/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Morgan Stanley said it expects Brazil's central bank (BCB) to keep rates unchanged at 15.00% on Wednesday, in line with the message of the last statement and minutes.

Similar to the previous statements, the BCB will continue to lean hawkish, in the bank's view, reinforcing the need for "caution" in assessing the lagged impacts from the hiking cycle.

Morgan Stanley forecasted Mexico's central bank (Banxico) to deliver a 25bps rate cut to 7.25% on Thursday.

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.
