July 13 to 17 With negotiations involving Greece and its European partners still dominating markets, the international front will see quite a few relevant events during this week, such as monetary policy decisions in Canada, the Euro Zone and Japan, as well as Chinese GDP data and plenty of speeches from FOMC members. However, the highlight should be Ms Yellen s semi-annual testimony to the US Congress, which we expect to bring crucial clues about the timing, shape and magnitude of the tightening cycle that that country is likely to face. In Brazil, the data stream is thinner than abroad and it will focus on economic activity with the release of retail sales and the Brazilian Central Bank s activity index for May15, which unfortunately are likely to reinforce the prospects for a negative result of the Brazilian economy in 2Q15. Brazil Despite the official view that states that the current situation isn t as bad as headlines of newspapers portray, economic indicators insist on challenging such an upbeat tone. The unemployment rate is on the rise, industrial production has virtually collapsed, there are no room for fiscal incentives and credit conditions are much dearer than before. How can household consumption thrive on the back of such an adverse mix? It can t in our view and the release of retail sales figures for May15 should confirm this as we expect the broader gauge to have declined 1.3% MoM sa (the sixth consecutive drop). It s true that an important part of this performance has to do with the abysmal performance of the automotive sector. However, the picture doesn t get Jankiel Santos Chief economist + 55 11 3074 7344 jsantos@espiritosantoib.com.br Flávio Serrano Senior economist + 55 11 3074 7343 fserrano@espiritosantoib.com.br substantially better even factoring out the contribution from that sector. Ombudsman 0800 7700 668 Taking into account the narrower gauge of retail sales which excludes the performances of building material stores and vehicles and auto-parts dealers our simulation points towards an expansion of 0.3% MoM sa in May15, which can be considered a quite weak outcome after having registered three drops in a row. Apparently, the relief observed in foodstuff inflation has managed to give some impulse to supermarkets sales in that period, but the deterioration in labour market conditions and the substantial increases in administered prices which cannot be avoided by consumers are likely to weigh on the segment in the coming months. That is, the prospects for household consumption are far from encouraging.

However, given that the Brazilian economy is far from open, this hasn t been enough to offset all the other headwinds the economy has been facing. As a result, GDP has been falling and signs for 2Q15 point to continuation of this trend. That s the backdrop we expect the economic activity index built by the Brazilian Central Bank dubbed IBC-BR to show in the coming days. According to our simulation, the IBC-BR for May15 should have declined 0.3% MoM sa, which would be its third consecutive drop in seasonally adjusted terms. What s more, the reading if confirmed will mean a negative carry-over estimate for 2Q15 a 1.8% QoQ sa fall in our calculations which underpins our view that the Brazilian economy hasn t reached the bottom yet and, hence, is still far from a turning point.

That s the reason why market participants including ourselves believe that the on-going monetary tightening cycle is about to be adjourned soon, with the Selic target rate likely to reach 14.50% pa in early Sep15. Unfortunately, though, the high level of interest rate should prevail for quite a while in order to insulate the Brazilian economy from the fallout that the high inflation level of this year is likely to have caused. Consequently, one should not expect the resumption of activity growth anytime soon.
