The Brazilian real came under pressure during the week amid concerns about the fiscal and economic-policy outlook, while Brazil's central bank held the Selic rate at 13.75% and struck a cautious tone. The real weakened 1.09% on the week; the outlook also cites U.S. inflation data and expected Copom minutes as potential currency drivers.
