flag Brazil's central bank lowers interest rate to 14.75% amid cooling inflation and slowing growth, citing global uncertainty and rising oil prices.

flag Brazil’s central bank cut its benchmark Selic rate to 14.75% from 15%, marking the first reduction in nearly two years as inflation cools but remains above target and economic growth slows. flag The move, driven by moderating inflation and weakening growth, was met with caution due to rising global uncertainty, particularly from Middle East conflict driving oil prices up 40% in local currency. flag While inflation stood at 3.81% in February, analysts expect a gradual decline, with growth forecast at 1.8% in 2026. flag The central bank signaled future cuts are possible but will depend on evolving risks, especially oil prices and geopolitical developments.
