2026-07-22 17:48 By Isabela Couto 1 min. read

Brazil's 10-year government bond yield rose above 14.75% in late July from 14.54% earlier in the month, amid the outlook of higher interest rates and the outlook of greater bond supply.

Oil, natural gas, soybeans, and power prices rose on the wholesale market as new strikes between Iran and the US tempered hopes that energy supply from the Middle East would restart.

The developments supported an outlook that inflation could regain traction and prevent the Brazilian central bank from easing rates in the upcoming quarters, lifting yields domestically.

Meanwhile, signals of higher deficit spending from the federal government added to a deteriorating fiscal situation.

The latest data showed that the nominal budget deficit widened more than expected to BRL 164 billion.

Consistently, government revenues were hampered by fresh tariffs from the United States.

Brazil Yields Rise on New US Tariffs
Brazil's 10-year government bond yield rose to 14.54% in mid-July from 14.43% earlier in the month after the US announced a new 25% tariff on Brazilian imports, effective July 22th. The move fueled concerns that trade tensions could weigh on economic growth, raise uncertainty, and pressure Brazil's fiscal and inflation outlook, prompting investors to demand higher yields. The increase also came amid persistent external risks, including geopolitical tensions and volatility in international oil prices. Meanwhile, the BCB raised its inflation forecast for the fourth quarter of 2027 to 3.7% from 3.5% and highlighted new upside risks, including climate-related pressures on food and energy prices and fiscal stimulus measures that could strengthen domestic demand. At the same time, a rebound in US Treasury yields supported global bond markets.

Brazil Bond Yields Ease on Soft CPI
Brazil's 10-year government bond yield fell to 14.43% in July from 14.54% a week earlier after inflation data came in below expectations. Annual inflation eased to 4.64% in June from 4.72% in May, below market forecasts of 4.80%, bringing it closer to the BCB's target range of 1.5%-4.5%. The softer inflation reading reinforced expectations that the central bank could adopt a more dovish stance. Meanwhile, oil prices retreated on signs that diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran remain on track despite recent tensions, easing energy-driven inflation concerns. At the same time, formal job creation slowed to about 73,000 positions in May, well below forecasts of 115,000, pointing to a gradual cooling in the labor market.
