Brazil's Central Bank maintained the benchmark Selic rate at 13.75% per year, citing ongoing inflation concerns, per agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br.

Analysts note that recent growth forecasts from major Brazilian banks have been revised downward, raising fiscal pressures for President Lula, reports finance.yahoo.com.

The decision to hold rates comes amid political uncertainty following Lula's reelection, which complicates economic planning and investor confidence, according to chinaglobalsouth.com.

With inflation fears mounting and fiscal stakes rising, market participants are closely watching how Lula's administration balances economic recovery with price stability.
