President of the Central Bank warns about critical situation of Ibovespa this week

This week there could be a lot of fluctuations in shares related to interest rates, involving retail trade and the construction sector. In the previous week, B3 consumption showed a drop of 4.14% against a 3% decline in Ibovespa. Permanent inflation in the United States and a worsening in the Brazilian scenario bring back investor distrust. On May 30th, Thursday, it will be a Corpus Christi holiday and the IPCA-15, known as the inflation preview, will be able to say whether or not the inflationary dragon is actually returning to activity.

President of the Central Bank is afraid of possible inflation

The president of the Central Bank, Roberto Campos Neto, expressed concern about the situation. According to him, the expectation of inflation is bad news, which caused the stock market to go into the red and affected future interest rates. The president also warns that possible impacts on prices due to the tragedy that will devastate Rio Grande do Sul throughout 2025, however, expectations of economic activity are not taking into account the losses caused by the floods.

“As this global debt issue becomes fiscally clearer for governments. Campos Neto exemplifies the situation: Pcountries in Latin America with plans to have better primary results, to have positive shocks in this fiscal dimension”. declared the president of the Central Bank during the Tenth Annual Monetary Policy Seminar, held by the Center for Monetary Studies.

Ibovespa situation is worrying

Bianca Passerini and Breno Rao are chart analysts at PagBank and for both of them, the Ibovespa continues to follow a correction process and is on an upward trend on the weekly charts, thus creating a downward channel configuration. With six consecutive days of declines, the market was in a bad mood after the speeches by Campos Neto, president of the Central Bank. The situation became more complicated as Vale and Petrobras ended the day in decline, making the Ibovespa situation more complicated. The index ended down 0.34% at 124,305.57 points, increasing by 3.00% over the course of the week. Therefore, Ibovespa closed in a situation opposite to the positive flow on Wall Street.
