# Fed rate pause leaves 9.75-point yield gap on Brazil real

> The U.S. Federal Reserve held its rate at 4.0%, while Brazil’s central bank kept the Selic rate at 13.75%, leaving the rate differential at 9.75 percentage points. The wide spread supports carry-trade demand for Brazilian assets and can bolster the real against the U.S. dollar.

## Why it matters

A sustained yield premium may attract capital to Brazil and support the real, although the currency’s direction also depends on inflation, fiscal risks and investor appetite. A stronger real can reduce local-currency costs for imported feed and agricultural inputs.
