Brazil’s central bank cut the Selic rate by 25 basis points for a fifth straight meeting, taking it to 13.75% in line with most economists’ expectations. The move comes ahead of Brazil’s presidential election and on the same day the U.S. Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate, heightening attention on a potentially narrowing interest-rate gap. Policymakers said further adjustments will depend on new information to bring inflation back to target. Election uncertainty and higher oil prices are adding to the risks around the economic outlook.
