Brazil Market May Face Further Political Stress in 2017: Eurasia

(Bloomberg) -- Political noises are likely to resume in Brazil after the Congress and Judiciary recess, Christopher Garman, political scientist at Eurasia, says in a phone interview.
  • In March, President Michel Temer’s government and Congressmen may face tests with pension regime reform being analyzed by a special committee in lower house, Electoral Court examining the process against former president Dilma Rousseff and Temer and potential street protests
  • Eurasia keeps at 20% the risk of Temer not ending his mandate
  • Sees sticking recession as increasing chances of pension regime being approved
    • Two months ago, some lawmakers were less committed to vote in the reform as the forecasts were pointing for a better 2017 growth; now, with outlook worsening, the sentiment of urgency to pass the reform in the Congress has increased, Garman says

HALISTER1: BRL Gains on Broad Positive Sentiment, Reacting Less to Politics

BRL Gains on Broad Positive Sentiment, Reacting Less to Politics

(Bloomberg) -- BRL gain reflects positive sentiment toward some EM FX, metals and stock prices, Georgette Boele, strategist at ABN Amro Bank, says in e-mailed response to questions.
  • Geopolitical tension weighed on EUR but BRL is far removed
    • Locally, while Carwash probe continues, the market reaction is diminishing
    • Markets already expect the worst and may not react to anything other than a major shock -- “more than we have seen so far, which is hard to imagine”
    • If the risk that president Temer’s administration can’t continue increase, that would be BRL negative
    • Economy likely to improve over time, supporting BRL, Boele says
  • “It is difficult to make a statement on the political situation in Brazil at the moment, apart from the fact that politics will probably have a lower impact on the BRL going forward”
    • Expects BRL at 3.7/USD at end of 2017 -- given strong US GDP growth and higher real rates in US -- and 3.2 at end of 2018
