CPI and jobs data, not Jackson Hole, will determine the Fed’s course
Investing.com -- Brazil’s foreign ministry has rejected recent statements from the U.S. government regarding the legal case against President Jair Bolsonaro, calling them an "unacceptable interference" in the country’s judicial matters.
The diplomatic tension escalated after U.S. officials said they would be "watching closely" after imposing "long-overdue consequences" related to the court proceedings against Bolsonaro.
The former Brazilian president is currently on trial before the Brazilian Supreme Court, facing allegations that he plotted a coup to overturn his defeat in the 2022 presidential election.
The dispute follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement last week of a 50% tariff on Brazilian exports scheduled to begin in August. Trump framed the tariff as a pressure tactic intended to help Bolsonaro in his legal battle.
