Correios in crisis: understand what made the government ask for help from Caixa in emergency operation POINTS

The requested loan is part of the state-owned company's restructuring plan for 2026;

The traditional alternative, sending a special credit project to Congress, has already been discarded. The federal government contacted the Caixa Econômica Federal to try to unlock the loan of R$ 20 billion requested by Correios.

The measure was taken after the National Treasury rejected the proposal presented by five banks, considered too expensive, even with the Union's guarantee.

News Summary
On October 18, 2024, a silent movement marked the Brazilian financial market. Twenty-seven credit rights investment funds — with names reminiscent of mythology, constellations, and literary figures — that had been inactive for months and even years, were "awakened" on the same day. Subsequently, in less than ten days, they began to operate as if programmed by a single central command: all bought the same asset, at the same speed, in the same proportion.

At the end of this movement, R$ 7.7 billion was concentrated in a financial product that the majority of shareholders have never seen, do not understand, and for which there is practically no public information: the BB Credit Notes, documents issued by Banco do Brasil supposedly backed by precatory orders and judicial debts of public entities.

Founder of Terra, Do Kwon is sentenced to 15 years in prison for fraud
A U.S. court sentenced Terra founder Do Kwon to 15 years in prison, concluding one of the most significant fraud cases in the history of the crypto sector.
The decision, made on December 11, 2025, comes after Kwon's guilty plea earlier this year.
End of the 2022 Crypto Winter saga?
The sentence concludes a legal saga of three years and seven months that began after the collapse of Terra's algorithmic stablecoin ecosystem in May 2022, which wiped out tens of billions in market value and triggered a cascade of bankruptcies across the crypto sector.
Prosecutors argued that Kwon deliberately misled investors about the stability of TerraUSD and the backing of its broader ecosystem. Kwon's sentence is less than the 25 years received by FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, although both cases have reshaped global regulatory attitudes toward digital assets.$BANK

Economy

CNI projects GDP growth of 1.8% in 2026

According to the entity, high interest rates and weak employment are expected to slow down the economy

After growing 2.5% in 2025, the Brazilian economy is expected to advance 1.8% in 2026, according to projections by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) released this Wednesday (10). The estimates are included in the Brazilian Economy Report 2025-2026, which indicates that the pace of activity will continue to be pressured by the high level of interest rates and the weakening of the labor market.

High interest rates

According to the CNI, the Selic rate will close 2026 at 12% per year, down from the current 15% per year. Inflation is expected to end the year at 4.1%, within the target range of 3%, with a tolerance band of 1.5 percentage points up or down.

Real interest rates (the difference between interest rates and inflation) are estimated at 7.9% for the next year. Above the neutral interest rate of 5% per year, according to the entity's assessment, interest rates continue to limit investment and economic growth.

According to the CNI, the combination of expensive credit, weaker domestic demand, and increased imports is expected to continue affecting the industry, especially the transformation sector, which is expected to grow only 0.5% next year, the worst performance among industrial segments.

The services sector is expected to be the main driver of economic expansion next year, with a growth of 1.9%, according to the report.$BANK

Central Bank of Mexico Alerts on Stablecoin Risks Amid Regulatory Gaps
According to Cointelegraph, the central bank of Mexico issued a warning in its latest financial stability report, highlighting the potential risks that stablecoins pose to financial stability. The report points to the rapid growth of stablecoins, their connections to traditional finance, and the global regulatory gaps that could lead to arbitrage and amplify market stress. The central bank, known as Banxico, emphasizes the vulnerabilities within the stablecoin sector, noting their strong dependence on short-term US Treasury securities and market concentration, with two issuers controlling 86% of the supply. Past incidents of stablecoin depegging further underscore the sector's susceptibility to stress.
Banxico warns that, without coordinated international safeguards, mass redemptions or bankruptcies of issuers could impact broader financing markets. The report also highlights divergent regulatory approaches as an increasing risk factor, with frameworks like the EU's MiCA and the GENIUS Act $BANK

WASHINGTON, Dec 10 (Reuters) - The President of the United States (USA), Donald Trump, had several very constructive interactions on trade issues with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, said the U.S. Trade Representative, Jamieson Greer, on Wednesday.

Greer said at an event organized by the Atlantic Council that the USA would like to have a better trade relationship with Brazil, but it would be necessary for both sides to make concessions.

"We would like to have, in the short term, some kind of agreement with Brazil. It may not solve all the problems, but there are things they can do. They seem to be quite willing partners," he said. "Of course, both sides need to be willing to actually make concessions."

Greer did not provide further details on the timeline or scope of a possible trade agreement between the two countries.

Relations between the two countries have improved in recent months after Trump removed, last month, the 40% tariffs on several Brazilian food products, including coffee, cocoa, and fruits, leaving in place a basic tariff of 10%. Trump announced the higher tariffs in August to punish Brazil for the case against former President Jair Bolsonaro, an ally of Trump and rival of Lula.

Greer said that Brazil has historically been a challenging and important trade partner, noting that the United States was investigating Brazil's tariffs and non-tariff policies as part of an investigation into Brazil's alleged "unfair" trade practices.

These practices include the suspicion of illegal deforestation of the Amazon, which, according to Greer, harms the competitiveness of U.S. timber producers, and what he describes as Brazil's preferential tariff rates for U.S. competitors.

Trump spoke with Lula about trade, the economy, and combating organized crime in a phone call last week, and Lula later said he expected further tariff reductions.$BTC

- The dollar started Thursday stable against the real, after the Central Bank's announcement the day before did not provide clear indications on when the interest rate cut would begin in Brazil, while abroad the US dollar showed mixed signals against other currencies.

At 9:28 AM, the spot dollar showed stability at R$5.4676 on sale.

At B3, the futures dollar contract for January -- currently the most liquid in Brazil -- fell 0.11%, to R$5.4905.

On Wednesday night, the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) of the Central Bank announced the maintenance of the basic Selic rate at 15% per year, without indicating exactly when the cycle of cuts could begin -- in January or March.

"The Committee assesses that the ongoing strategy of maintaining the current level of interest rates for a quite prolonged period is adequate to ensure the convergence of inflation to the target," pointed out the Monetary Policy Committee (Copom) of the Central Bank in the announcement, adopting the word "adequate" instead of "sufficient," used in November.

Part of the market was expecting clearer indications about the possibility of cutting the Selic as early as January, which was not confirmed, although the Central Bank did not close the door on this possibility.

In the announcement, the Central Bank assessed that the strategy “ongoing” of maintaining interest rates for “quite a prolonged period” is “adequate to ensure the convergence of inflation to the target.” In the previous announcement, from November, the term “ongoing” was not present.

“This addition is in line with the recent discourse of (Central Bank president, Gabriel) Galípolo, who clarified that the ‘quite’ does not restart at each meeting, meaning that this period has been occurring for months,” evaluated consultant Sérgio Goldenstein from Eytse Estratégia, in a comment sent to clients. “The removal of the guidance character opens space for a cut as early as January without breaking communication.”$BANK
