The officialization of Massa to the National Cabinet in a position of “super minister”creates expectations of upcoming economic announcements that clarify the direction of the economy. “The market moves by expectations” said a trader.

“The markets have symbolically anointed Massa with a vote of confidence upon receiving him, but they will be incredulous if the respective measures for the short/medium term are not announced in the coming days”commented from Portfolio Personal Investments (PPI).

It is expected that next week economic announcements are made that seek to reassure the financial market At a time when annual inflation threatens to exceed 90%, the Central Bank has few reserves and exchange rate pressures are putting pressure on the market. “On Wednesday we are going to announce a set of measures,” Massa told reporters.

“It is unlikely that we will see a sustained rebound in bonds and a significant narrowing of the gap without concrete fiscal measures to correct the structural problems,” noted PPI and added that “It is imperative that this economic plan be announced as soon as possible to reaffirm that the change of command implies a change of course.”
