Brazil | More dovish monetary policy minutes, but the tightening cycle is not over yet
Summary
The monetary policy minutes revealed that the COPOM sees a deterioration in the risks for inflation in 2015 and believes that measures adopted up to now are insufficient to take inflation to 4.5% in 2016, signalling that the tightening cycle is not over. However, they showed that the COPOM is more optimistic on 2016 inflation, supporting the view of a 25bp hike in April.
