Brazil Spending Cap, Developments on Lula Buoy BRL: Quantitas

(Bloomberg) -- BRL reversed losses as reports showed that Finance Minister Meirelles seeks a spending cap for longer than previously expected term to stabilize the debt, Eduardo Longo, FI and multi-markets trading manager at Quantitas Gestao de Recursos says in a phone interview.
  • Other reports signaling that proceedings against former president Lula may have a faster outcome than previously expected, reducing political uncertainty, also help to overshadow impact of concerns about Brexit
  • NOTE: Top Court yday decided to send investigation of Lula back to lower court judge Sergio Moro; that means the process may be resolved before 2018 elections, reducing chances for the former president and Rousseff ally to come back to power, Longo says
    • New BCB governor Goldfajn may start cutting rates in Oct.
