Brazil 10-Year Yield Eases on Fiscal Adjustment Bill Approval

2026-11-13 21:28 By Isabela Couto 1 min. read

The yield on the 10-year Brazilian government bond edged lower to around 15.3% from the ten-year high of 15.75% reached on November 3, following the Senate’s approval of the federal government’s fiscal adjustment bill.

The Senate approved the main text of the complementary bill the previous day.

The bill introduces fiscal measures with an estimated impact of up to R$60 billion in 2027 to ensure surplus targets, though senators are only expected to analyze amendments that could still modify its content next Tuesday.

Meanwhile, JPMorgan believes the proposed 2027 fiscal measures are insufficient given the size of the public accounts challenge and may pressure companies.

Although markets initially welcomed the proposal as a step toward a more robust fiscal agenda, the measures are understood to focus less on structural adjustments to reverse the growing debt trajectory and more on creating room for spending freezes to reach the 0.5% of GDP surplus target for 2027.

Brazil 10-Year Yield Rises as Fiscal Adjustment Bill Disappoints
The yield on the 10-year Brazilian government bond rose to over 15.4%, remaining near the ten-year high of 15.75% reached on November 3rd, as the government’s fiscal adjustment proposal disappointed markets. Markets had previously welcomed the news as an initial step toward a more robust fiscal agenda, but now view the bill as a timid adjustment. The measures are understood not to focus on structural adjustments to reverse the growing public debt trajectory, but rather on opening more room for spending freezes to reach the 0.5% of GDP surplus target for 2027. Meanwhile, annual inflation rose to 4.63% in October from 4.58% in September, below market expectations of 4.74% but marking a four-month high and remaining above the BCB’s 4.5% target ceiling. With inflation still above target, the BCB is expected to remain cautious about resuming its Selic easing cycle.

Brazil 10-Year Yield Retreats from Ten-Year High
The yield on the 10-year Brazilian government bond fell to the 15.2% level from the ten-year high of 15.75% reached on November 3rd after the government’s economic team presented a preliminary fiscal adjustment proposal to Congress. Although details remain scarce, it is the first concrete sign of public-account adjustment since President Lula’s reelection. Earlier this month, Lula reiterated that his government is committed to fiscal responsibility while also considering social responsibility, amid pressure to announce adjustment measures after Brazilian assets plunged following his late-October reelection. Meanwhile, BCB policymakers suggested in the latest meeting minutes that elevated interest rates have already dampened economic activity, hinting that rate cuts may be needed to address slower growth and risks to unemployment.
