Prediction Markets Price Selic Rate Cut Amid Wall Street Decline
What happened
Wall Street fell on Friday, with the S&P 500 down 1.09% and the Nasdaq down 2.1%, which could weigh on Brazil’s market opening. Despite this, prediction markets price a 25-basis-point Selic cut at the Copom meeting on November 3–4 at 90.5% on Polymarket. Petrobras preferred shares gained 4.0% on Friday.

Why it matters
The Selic rate path remains the market’s anchor, with the central bank’s Focus survey and the IGP-10 inflation gauge serving as key catalysts ahead of the Copom meeting. A hot October inflation print could test the market’s expectations for a November rate cut.
Following the US jobs report, money rotated out of emerging markets, affecting Brazilian stocks.
