Investing.com – The Central Bank of Brazil announced on Tuesday that after lowering interest rates by 25 basis points to 14.75% last week, the magnitude and duration of future rate adjustments will be gradually determined as new data becomes available.

In the latest monetary policy meeting minutes, the central bank stated that this decision “aligns with the current situation, as the ongoing duration and extent of geopolitical conflicts, along with mixed signals from economic slowdown and its impact on price levels, hinder the identification of clear trends.”

Last week, following the escalation of global inflation concerns triggered by the US and Israel’s war against Iran and the resulting oil shock, policymakers did not provide clear forward guidance.
