Copom mantém taxa Selic em 15%, o maior nível em quase 20 anos

O Comitê de Política Monetária (Copom) do Banco Central decidiu nesta quarta-feira (5) manter a taxa Selic em 15% ao ano, o maior patamar desde 2006. A decisão, amplamente esperada pelo mercado financeiro, reflete a preocupação da autoridade monetária com a persistência da inflação e a necessidade de manter o controle dos preços no médio prazo.

Taxa Selic segue estável: entenda a decisão do Copom

De acordo com o comunicado divulgado após a reunião, o Copom afirmou que a taxa de juros básica, conhecida como taxa Selic, continuará em 15% “por tempo suficiente” até que a inflação mostre sinais consistentes de desaceleração. A decisão foi unânime entre os membros do comitê.

O Banco Central justificou a manutenção da taxa Selic hoje pelo cenário ainda desafiador da economia global e pelas pressões inflacionárias internas, especialmente nos setores de serviços e alimentos.

“O Comitê avalia que o cenário de desinflação segue mais lento do que o esperado e que a política monetária deve permanecer restritiva por mais tempo”, diz o comunicado oficial.

Selic hoje: impacto para a economia e para os consumidores

A Selic hoje funciona como referência para todas as outras taxas de juros da economia — desde financiamentos e empréstimos até aplicações financeiras. Com a taxa Selic copom em 15%, o custo do crédito tende a continuar elevado, dificultando o acesso a financiamentos e pressionando o consumo das famílias.

Por outro lado, quem investe em renda fixa continua sendo beneficiado, já que títulos públicos e CDBs atrelados à taxa Selic mantêm retornos atrativos.

Economistas avaliam que, embora a decisão do Copom Selic mantenha a inflação sob controle, ela também pode desacelerar o ritmo de crescimento econômico, especialmente em setores dependentes de crédito, como o imobiliário e o automotivo.

Copom taxa Selic hoje: contexto internacional e riscos

O Copom taxa Selic hoje segue atento às incertezas do cenário global. Com os Estados Unidos e a Europa sinalizando cortes graduais nas suas taxas de juros, o Brasil mantém uma postura mais cautelosa.

Além disso, a volatilidade dos preços das commodities e as tensões geopolíticas têm impactado o custo da energia e dos alimentos, fatores que dificultam a redução da taxa de juros Banco Central.

Analistas destacam que o Banco Central brasileiro adota uma postura de prudência, buscando garantir a convergência da inflação à meta estabelecida pelo Conselho Monetário Nacional (CMN), que é de 3% com margem de 1,5 ponto percentual para cima ou para baixo.

Expectativas para as próximas reuniões do Copom

O mercado já começa a especular o rumo da reunião Copom de dezembro. Embora alguns economistas esperem um possível corte no início de 2026, a maioria acredita que a taxa Selic hoje deve permanecer inalterada pelo menos até o primeiro trimestre do próximo ano.

Segundo levantamento da Bloomberg, mais de 70% dos analistas projetam estabilidade nos juros nas próximas duas reuniões, enquanto 20% ainda veem espaço para um ajuste menor, dependendo dos dados de inflação e atividade econômica.

“O Banco Central quer ver a inflação convergindo de forma clara para a meta antes de iniciar qualquer movimento de flexibilização monetária”, afirmou o economista-chefe de uma grande instituição financeira em São Paulo.

Copom reforça compromisso com o controle da inflação

Durante a coletiva de imprensa, o presidente do Banco Central reiterou o compromisso da instituição com o combate à inflação, afirmando que “a política monetária precisa continuar vigilante”. Ele também ressaltou que o país vive um momento de transição fiscal, o que aumenta a importância de uma postura firme na condução da política de juros.

O comunicado destacou que o Copom Selic continuará acompanhando de perto a evolução das expectativas de inflação, os preços internacionais e o desempenho do câmbio, fatores decisivos para as próximas decisões.

Conclusão: cenário desafiador e cautela à frente

A decisão do Copom de manter a taxa Selic hoje em 15% reflete um equilíbrio delicado entre combater a inflação e não comprometer ainda mais o crescimento econômico. O Brasil enfrenta um ambiente de juros altos, inflação persistente e incertezas fiscais, o que exige cautela nas próximas etapas da política monetária.

Enquanto o governo busca medidas para estimular a economia, o Banco Central reforça que seu principal objetivo é preservar o poder de compra dos brasileiros e garantir a estabilidade financeira do país.

Major U.S. Airports Face Widespread Flight Disruptions The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered an immediate 10% reduction in air traffic at 40 major U.S. airports, including Denver Airport, Dulles Airport, and Newark Airport, due to staffing shortages caused by the ongoing government shutdown. The move has already triggered flight cancellations today, affecting both commercial and private aircraft operations across the country. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that the decision aims to preserve air safety as the FAA faces limited operational capacity. The restriction will remain in effect until normal staffing resumes, putting additional strain on airlines and passengers ahead of the busy travel season. Denver Airport Faces Significant Delays Denver Airport has been among the hardest hit by the FAA’s new directive. Airport officials reported that hundreds of flights were delayed or cancelled due to restricted airspace capacity. Travelers have been advised to check their flight status before heading to the terminal as delays are expected to continue throughout the weekend. A spokesperson for Denver International Airport said: “We are working closely with the FAA and airlines to manage schedules effectively. However, travelers should expect longer wait times and possible flight cancellations today due to the nationwide flight reductions.” The restriction also impacts United Airlines flight status at Denver Airport, one of the carrier’s key hubs. Many passengers have already reported flight delays on both domestic and international routes. Dulles and Newark Airports Also Affected Along with Denver Airport, Dulles Airport and Newark Airport have been forced to adjust flight schedules as part of the FAA’s 10% air traffic reduction. The order covers both commercial and private aircraft, limiting departures and arrivals throughout the day. Several United Airlines flight status and Delta flight status updates indicate numerous route changes and cancellations across the East Coast. Airlines have also begun proactively adjusting schedules to prevent overcrowding at terminals. Airlines Respond to the FAA Restrictions Leading U.S. airlines, including United, Delta, and American, have begun implementing contingency plans. Delta flight status trackers show that several routes through Denver Airport and MCO Airport (Orlando International) have been delayed by several hours. United Airlines issued a statement advising passengers to check their flight status regularly and offering flexible rebooking options without additional charges. The carrier has temporarily reduced frequency on select domestic routes to align with FAA requirements. Private Flights Limited at Major Airports The FAA order also restricts private jet operations at major airports such as Dulles Airport, Newark Airport, and Denver Airport. The new policy prioritizes commercial flights to ensure passenger movement while scaling back non-essential traffic. Private aviation companies have expressed frustration, citing significant business disruptions. Industry analysts expect private flight delays to continue until full staffing levels return at air traffic control centers. Nationwide Impact on Travelers With flight cancellations today across major hubs, thousands of passengers are facing travel chaos. Airlines and airports have urged travelers to verify their flight status before leaving home and to arrive early in case of security or boarding delays. Travel experts recommend …

The cryptocurrency market has witnessed heightened volatility this week, with XRP plunging by more than 10% amid dwindling bullish momentum. According to Cryptopolitan, large XRP investors — often referred to as whales — are diversifying into Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a rising DeFi project that has quickly gained traction for its lending-based ecosystem and real-yield tokenomics. XRP Price Struggles Amid Market Pressure The XRP price has been trading within a tight range of $2.16 to $2.52, hovering near its critical Fibonacci support level of 0.382. While bulls are attempting to defend this zone, XRP continues to face resistance around its Exponential Moving Average (EMA) levels, limiting its potential breakout. Analysts suggest that for XRP to regain upward momentum, it must breach the $2.52 resistance. A successful breakout could open the path toward $2.77 to $3.10, but failure to hold support may push prices as low as $1.94. Despite the correction, data shows that open interest in XRP is rising, signaling an impending wave of volatility — though whether it will favor bulls or bears remains uncertain. This unpredictability has led several major holders to reallocate portions of their portfolios into emerging decentralized finance (DeFi) projects like Mutuum Finance, which some describe as a safer bet for short-term growth. Why XRP Whales Are Betting on Mutuum Finance As XRP struggles to maintain momentum, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has emerged as a promising DeFi token. Priced at $0.035 during its Stage 6 presale, the project has already attracted over 17,800 investors and raised $18.5 million. With 85% of this stage sold, the project is rapidly approaching Phase 7, where the token price will increase to $0.04. The appeal lies in Mutuum Finance’s focus on real yield DeFi mechanics, allowing users to earn passive income through collateralized lending and borrowing systems. By combining transparency, risk management algorithms, and user rewards, the platform positions itself as a utility-driven alternative within a crowded DeFi landscape. For XRP investors, the logic is simple — diversify into projects offering utility and yield potential, especially as regulatory challenges and technical resistance weigh on Ripple’s short-term price action. Mutuum Finance: A DeFi Project on the Rise Mutuum Finance aims to bridge the gap between decentralized lending and sustainable yield generation. Its upcoming Sepolia testnet, expected to launch in Q4 2025, will allow users to deposit ETH or USDT as collateral, borrow funds, and earn rewards through mtTokens that generate MUTM incentives. The testnet will also evaluate core financial functionalities such as: These systems are designed to enhance user trust and platform longevity before a full mainnet rollout in 2026. Ripple vs. DeFi: A Strategic Shift The shift by XRP whales toward Mutuum Finance highlights a growing trend — investors are looking beyond traditional blockchain projects to DeFi ecosystems that promise consistent returns and innovation. While XRP remains a cornerstone of cross-border payment solutions, its price is increasingly influenced by market speculation, macroeconomic shifts, and ongoing legal scrutiny from regulatory authorities. In contrast, projects like Mutuum Finance leverage blockchain’s utility through decentralized …

Major Corporate Consolidation in India’s Auto Sector The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has officially approved the merger of Suzuki Motor Gujarat Pvt Ltd (SMG) with Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), marking a significant milestone in India’s automotive sector. The tribunal’s green light clears the way for a major corporate consolidation that aims to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance shareholder value for the country’s largest carmaker. A two-member bench of the Principal Bench in New Delhi, comprising President Ramlingam Sudhakar and Member Ravindra Chaturvedi, sanctioned the scheme of amalgamation on November 8, 2025, with April 1, 2025, set as the effective date. In its order, the NCLT stated that there was “no impediment in sanctioning the present scheme,” emphasizing that the merger aligns with the interests of shareholders, employees, and creditors. No Objections from Regulators or Stakeholders According to the Times of India report, all statutory authorities, including the Income Tax Department, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), BSE, and NSE, either supported the merger or raised no objections within the stipulated time. The NCLT noted that the merger application, filed under Sections 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013, will be binding on both Suzuki Motor Gujarat and Maruti Suzuki India, as well as their respective shareholders and creditors. The tribunal also directed that Suzuki Motor Gujarat “shall stand dissolved without the necessity of a winding-up process” once the merger is implemented and a certified copy of the order is filed with the Registrar of Companies. Streamlining Operations for Greater Efficiency The merger is expected to bring several operational advantages for Maruti Suzuki India. Both companies stated in their joint petition that the consolidation will lead to cost efficiencies, administrative streamlining, and faster decision-making. According to their filing, the amalgamation will help eliminate duplication of administrative functions, reduce overhead costs, and enhance manufacturing productivity. The companies also highlighted improvements in key performance indicators such as hours per vehicle (HPV) and direct pass rate, which measure production quality and efficiency. All employees of Suzuki Motor Gujarat will be absorbed into Maruti Suzuki India after the merger becomes effective, ensuring a smooth workforce transition without any layoffs or job insecurity. Background of the Merger Suzuki Motor Corporation (Japan), which owns 58.28% of Maruti Suzuki India’s paid-up share capital, had proposed the merger to simplify its corporate structure and consolidate its manufacturing and sales operations in India. Suzuki Motor Gujarat, established in 2014 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzuki Motor Corporation, manufactures vehicles and supplies them exclusively to Maruti Suzuki India. With this merger, Maruti Suzuki will gain full ownership and operational control over its Gujarat manufacturing facility, which currently produces over 750,000 vehicles annually. This move is expected to strengthen Maruti’s manufacturing capacity, streamline production planning, and reduce procurement and logistical redundancies. NCLT’s Approval and the Road Ahead The NCLT’s approval follows its earlier first motion order passed on June 10, 2025, which cleared the way for the final hearing. With the merger …
