What happens to the Copom one-month rates?
One of the variables that economic agents analyze to observe the evolution of the dollar is the Monetary Policy Rate (TPM), which is currently at 8.5% and will remain that way at least until next July 16, when the next meeting of the Copom.
However, an element to observe in the preview is the movement of the cutting rates of the Monetary Regulation Bills (LRM), which this month moved between 8.5% and 8.8% in the different terms, with the majority in the order of 8.61%, that is, above the TPM.
If this scenario does not change, less than 30 days before the next decision of the BCU, It could be intuited that rates will not go down, despite the fact that the inflation It has remained within the target range for a year.
