▶ The new peace agreement between the United States and Iran brings relief to financial markets this Monday. The expectation is that the memorandum will be signed next Friday (19), in Switzerland. Neither party informed the content of the treaty, but, according to the American press, the understanding would include, among other points, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a new truce, including Lebanon.
With the imminence of an agreement, oil prices were falling this Monday. A barrel of Brent, an international reference, fell 5.02% at around 8:40 am, quoted at US$82.95. West Texas Intermediate (WTI), from the USA, fell 5.54% at the same time, to US$ 80.18 per barrel.
▶ Another highlight of the week is the so-called "Super Wednesday" - the moment when the central banks of Brazil and the USA announce their interest rate decisions. The market expects the US Federal Reserve to maintain the US base rate, amid signs of still high prices in the country. Here, the estimate is for a new cut of 0.25 percentage points (p.p.) by the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom).
