What it is & how to read it

Brazil's key policy interest rate — the rate the central bank sets to steer the economy, which anchors borrowing costs across the financial system. Rate cuts ease financial conditions and have historically supported asset prices, especially when they come early in a cycle; sustained hiking campaigns do the reverse. The 12-month change in this rate is often a cleaner investment signal than its level, since what matters is whether policy is becoming easier or tighter relative to what markets have priced.
