International Markets Started the Week Lower, Reflecting Investor Enthusiasm with the Optimistic Policies Adopted by the Central Bank and the Federal Reserve Last Week. The Global Economic Scenario Seems to Be Facing Turmoil After a Brief Moment of Relief.

The week begins with international markets down, following a period of optimism prompted by statements from the Brazilian Central Bank and the United States Federal Reserve. Roberto Campos Neto reiterated that the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) will maintain the trend of 0.50 percentage point cuts in the Selic rate. Meanwhile, Jerome Powell signaled that the American central bank may pause its monetary tightening policy, keeping the interest rate between 5.25% and 5.50%.

Now, investors are awaiting new economic data to decide on the possibility of a pause in interest rates in the United States and cuts in Brazil. The national highlight is the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the third quarter, while in the U.S., a series of employment data, such as the ADP Report, JOLTs, and payroll, will influence decisions.

Asian markets started the day lower, European markets are operating with negative variations, while the futures market on Wall Street also shows a downward trend, along with declines in commodities such as iron ore and oil.
