Brazil’s Financial Morning Call for Monday, September 21, 2026
Copom minutes land Tuesday, but Monday's B3 open hinges on Selic bets, the Focus survey and a quiet corporate calendar. Here's the pre-market map. The post Brazil’s Financial Morning Call for Monday, September 21, 2026 appeared first on The Rio Times .
Monday marks a quiet domestic data day for Brazil's financial markets, with the sole focus on the Selic rate, the Focus survey, and the Central Bank of Brazil's (CBR) upcoming minutes. The Selic rate has been reduced by 25 basis points to 13.75%, the fifth consecutive quarter-point cut. The CBR's minutes for the 15-16 September meeting are due on Tuesday, 22 September, followed by the publication of the BCB Monetary Policy Report on 24 September and mid-month IPCA inflation data on 25 September.
The Focus survey, released at 8:30 am BRT, is the main domestic catalyst for the day. It will assess shifts in the 2026 and 2027 inflation projections, which could complicate the central bank's ability to keep cutting interest rates. The Brazilian real is expected to remain stable against the dollar, with no significant corporate events on the B3 calendar.
The Ibovespa, Brazil's main stock index, closed the previous session with a slight decline, but the opening price will hinge on the Selic path, Focus survey results, and the stability of the real.
