Banco Central inicia corte de juros após dois anos e Selic vai a 14,75% ao ano | InvestNews
Desde então, foram cinco reuniões em que o BC optou por manter o mesmo nível de juros. O corte na texa básica de juros era amplamente esperada pelo mercado financeiro. O BC havia iniciado o ciclo de aperto monetário em maio de 2024.
"O ambiente externo tornou-se mais incerto, em função do acirramento de conflitos geopolíticos no Oriente Médio, com reflexos nas condições financeiras globais", escreveu o Copom. "Tal cenário exige cautela por parte de países emergentes em ambiente marcado por elevação da volatilidade de preços de ativos e commodities."
O Banco Central acrescentou ainda que "os riscos para a inflação, tanto de alta quanto de baixa, que já se encontravam mais elevados do que o usual, se intensificaram após o início dos conflitos no Oriente Médio".
Mas que julgou que seria possível iniciar o ciclo de "calibração monetária", sem dar sinais de quando – e de que magnitude – será o próximo corte. O Copom irá se reunir agora nos dias 28 e 29 de abril.
