"Take your zero interest rate and shove it" is something the Brazilian central bank didn't say

Here are the real headlines from the Central Bank of Brazil, via Reuters:

  • Holds benchmark interest rate at 14.25 percent
  • Removes reference to "lower inflation to target at end of 2016" from statement
  • Says keeping rates at current levels for sufficiently prolonged period is necessary to lower inflation towards target in a relevant horizon for monetary policy
  • Says monetary policy to remain vigilant to meet inflation goal

No change to the benchmark rate was the expected outcome
