Brazilian future interest rates fell slightly across the curve on Wednesday, with the January 2027 DI contract stable, as domestic election optimism was tempered by a surge in long-term US Treasury yields to multi-decade highs. The external pressure from Treasuries is constraining the magnitude of rate declines, indicating that global rates are a key headwind for Brazilian monetary easing expectations.
