Brazil 10-Year Yield Extends 10-Year High

2026-11-05 18:25 By Isabela Couto 1 min. read

Brazil’s 10-year government bond yield was little changed around 15.29%, remaining near a decade high after the BCB kept the Selic rate at 13.75% at its November meeting.

The decision reflected a outlook marked by weaker growth, higher inflation and heightened uncertainty following President Lula’s reelection.

Investors remain focused on fiscal policy, particularly the government’s commitment to controlling spending and public debt, which has risen significantly in recent years.

Expectations ahead of the decision were divided, with some investors anticipating a hold and others pricing in a sixth consecutive 25 bps cut.

Policymakers cited rising inflation expectations, increased uncertainty and a “more pronounced deceleration” in economic activity.

The Copom statement highlighted the slowdown and uncertainty surrounding its own projections.

Labor market data further pointed to cooling activity, as Brazil created 121,305 formal jobs in September, below market expectations of 171,000.
