🚨 BRAZIL SIGNALS THE TURN — RATE CUTS ARE COMING

👀 What just happened?

Brazil’s central bank held rates at 15% — but clearly signaled that rate cuts begin in March.

The word to watch: “Serenity” ⚠️

Translation? 👉 No panic, but easing is locked in.

📉 The message behind the move

• Inflation has cooled below 4.5%

• Currency stability is improving

• Policymakers want a controlled, gradual easing cycle

• Economists split: 25 bps vs 50 bps cut in March

⚠️ What systems & liquidity are affected

• Domestic credit conditions loosen next

• Borrowing costs set to fall

• Capital flows likely rotate back into Brazilian risk assets

• Yield pressure starts shifting lower across EM bonds

📚 Macro context (why this matters)

Last time Brazil started an easing cycle after peak rates,

➡️ Equities outperformed

➡️ Local bonds rallied hard

➡️ EM currencies stabilized before global easing followed

This often acts as an early signal for broader EM shifts.

📊 Market impact by asset class

📈 Stocks: Bullish tailwind for Brazilian equities & banks

🪙 Crypto: Indirect positive — global liquidity narrative strengthens

🛢️ Commodities: Neutral to supportive as EM demand expectations rise

📉 Bonds: Bullish — yields likely trend lower into March

🔥 Bottom line

Brazil just fired the starting gun for EM easing.

The cycle hasn’t started yet — but positioning already has.

Markets move before the first cut.
