Transmission to assets
Market read-through
For Brazil, US yields at 5% shrink the differential that supported the real and the long curve on the eve of the Copom, which should still cut 0.25 point.
A Fed hike on September 16 with oil near US$ 110 tends to keep the dollar under pressure and limit room for further Selic cuts.
Portfolio impact
02Higher US yields shrink the rate differential and raise external funding costs.
Negative for the dollar-real and the long end of the Brazilian curve.
What would change the view: Eases if the Fed signals a pause after the 9/16 hike or if oil retreats.
Falling US stocks and higher real yields compress emerging equity multiples.
Short-term pressure on the exchange.
What would change the view: Depends on the Fed tone and the Copom decision this week.
Direction is an explanatory hypothesis, not a forecast or recommendation.
Next signals
What to watch
- The Fed decision on 9/16 and Powell's reading on inflation and oil.
- Whether the 10-year Treasury holds above 5% at the close of the next sessions.

Limits of the reporting
What remains uncertain
- 5.01% and 5.004% are different time cuts of the same session; no source reports the official closing yield.
- The Fed hike probability ranges from 88.5% to about 90% depending on the tool and the time.
