Central Bank of Brazil monitors inflation ahead of election runoff
What happened
The Central Bank of Brazil is monitoring the October IPCA-15 inflation preview, with economists expecting the monthly rate to be 0.43% and the annual rate to be 4.73%. The Central Bank's decision on the Selic interest rate hinges on this inflation print.

Why it matters
The inflation print is the clearest domestic factor influencing the currency and the Selic rate path. The Central Bank's actions are also being tracked as the presidential runoff between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro approaches.
Global markets are tracking inflation while the elections of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Jair Bolsonaro steer Brazil's economy, alongside risks in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Mali.
