Brazil's Central Bank Holds Rates

Brazil's central bank kept the benchmark Selic rate steady at 13.75% per year, per agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br.

The decision follows President Lula's election win, which has raised inflation fears and dampened hopes for further rate cuts, Reuters reports.

Analysts note that Lula's victory has led to a reassessment of fiscal policies, with Brazilian banks cutting growth forecasts, per finance.yahoo.com.
