Analysis

COPOM raised SELIC by 450 basis points to 15% through 2025, pulling USD/BRL from near 5.99 to around 5.10. The BCB began easing in Q1 2026 - cutting only 25bp to 14.75%, less than the 50bp the market had priced. Iran conflict oil prices complicated the inflation outlook and slowed the easing path. The pace of BCB cuts in Q3 2026 is the primary driver of where the pair goes next. In Brazil, PIX is the dominant on-ramp for retail forex traders - the speed of PIX transfers (seconds, 24/7) enables same-day reaction to BCB rate decisions that move USD/BRL.
